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!

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.
