Because the water pipe was connected incorrectly, the owner paid 12 water fee for the whole building. Does the property need to bear corresponding responsibilities?

This must be the responsibility of the property. Pay the water fee to the property company, and the property should remind the owner in time. According to media reports, a Jilin Mr. Zhang opened a shop, but because of the recent poor business, he closed it directly. After closing the store door, Mr. Zhang found that when the sluice of his store was closed, the upstairs residents also stopped water. Later, he found out that the water pipes of the property were connected by mistake, and the shops were connected with the water pipes of the upstairs residents. The water charges of the whole building were borne by the shops themselves, and the shops had borne 12 years.

The owner also said that because he is in the catering business, he uses a lot of water every day, so he pays more water bills every month, so he has never noticed this. Moreover, according to the store, I found that the residents upstairs also have water meters, that is to say, it is likely that after the residents paid their own taxes, the residents paid their own taxes again, that is to say, the water company charged the water fee twice. Later, the store found the water company, and the other party admitted that it was at fault, but was only willing to pay 3000 tons of water. The store believes that the water can't be used up at all and asks for cash compensation.

Finally, after many negotiations, the water supply company finally promised to pay cash compensation and give the store a one-time compensation of 7,000 yuan for water. However, after media reports, many people think that property companies are responsible for the maintenance of water pipes, and property companies should also be responsible. Although it is not a direct responsibility, it should at least apologize to the owner. Moreover, the property management company should overhaul the pipeline to see if there is anything similar happening.

Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Changchun, Jilin, has been engaged in catering business. Due to the recent business depression, he wants to close the shop. However, when closing the store, Mr. Zhang had an unexpected harvest. Mr. Zhang found himself turning off the water in the shop, and the residents upstairs actually stopped the water. ?

Later, after inspection, it was found that when the tap water pipeline was rebuilt in 2009, due to the mistake of the construction unit, the water pipe at Gate 6 of the whole building was connected to the water meter of Mr. Zhang's hotel, so as soon as he turned off the valve, the residents of the whole building had no water. The implication is that Mr. Zhang paid 12 of the water fee for the upstairs residents. ?

Because the catering business consumes a lot of water every day, it is normal for the water fee to be higher, and Mr. Zhang didn't care. It was not until the shop closed that he found this unusual place. However, Mr. Zhang also found that in addition to paying the water fee at home, the residents upstairs also have water meters at home, which means that the water company is equivalent to collecting two yuan.
