Leaks: What to do if you find a leak on your property

If you are a homeowner, the water pipes within the boundaries of your property are your responsibility to install and maintain. This includes water pipes inside your home and drainage and supply pipes outside your home but still within your property boundary. Because these pipes are privately owned, we do not hold information on their location within your property boundary. You may also be responsible for pipework that is not on your property as is the case with shared supply pipes and sometimes also with sole use supply pipes.

Although you are responsible for the pipes on your property, there are things that we can do to help you fix the problem as quickly as possible. This also has benefits for the environment as leakage will be minimised.

Please download the leaflet below for further information on how you can fix the problem.
