Get your plumber to cut it and cap it. Tell the neighbours and whoever hasn’t got any water can pay to fix it. Fuck paying for someone else’s utilities.
Unless there's an easement over the property for the water supply.
@Pmccee - your conveyancer should have picked this up, or it may be on the land registry.
If it's not - cap the fucker.
There could, I guess (IANAL etc... and I could be million miles from being right) be an inferred easement, as it's been there forever. In which case, don't cap it, but do charge the neighbours.

Surely with an easement it is even more clear cut that the neighbours are liable for repairs? If the poster isn’t supplied by the pipe I don’t see how they can be liable?
I meant capping to identify those supplied by the pipe rather than bring a bastard and withholding water supply to force payment - I’m not that nasty!
