Historically, it was quite common for properties to be on a shared supply pipe (one pipe that is connected to the main/service pipe but supplies multiple properties).
However, as the demand for water has increased, you may have noticed a low water pressure / flow in your home, and have problems shutting off your water when required. The Waterlink team can help.
If you are suffering from low water pressure then you might wish to think about getting your own separate supply.
Separating a supply involves your current supply pipe being capped off, and a new supply laid with a new connection to the mains being made. Please note, if you separate your supply, unless everyone on the shared supply also gets new supplies, then the original shared supply will still be in use and your neighbours will still require access rights to the pipework, even if it runs under your property.
The infographic below explains the ownership/responsibility of shared pipework.
