In a small block of apartments, does the communal water have to run off a resident's water supply or can it be separate? When we originally moved in, our communal water was on it's own meter and pipe, then it was moved onto one of the resident's supplyonce all teh apartments had been sold.This is causing problems as that resident then is responsible for the supply and when they are not in Turkey and turn their water off at the mains, it is continually being turned back on for watering the gardens etc. Has anyone any idea if the supply can be put back onto it's original pipe that seems to have nothing attached to it now or do we have to have it connected to an actual apartment's supply?
