Who is responsible for the leakage of public sewer pipes?

Legal analysis: First of all, it is necessary to distinguish whether the leaking pipeline is a public pipeline. If it is a public pipeline, the maintenance cost shall be borne by the property management company, and if it is a self-use pipeline, the maintenance cost shall be borne by the owner. The property management company has the responsibility to repair the water leakage in the sewer pipe at home, but the maintenance cost should be borne by the owner.

Legal basis: Article 942 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the property service provider shall, in accordance with the agreement and the nature of the use of the property, properly repair, maintain, clean, afforest and manage some owners in the property service area, maintain the basic order of the property service area, and take reasonable measures to protect the personal and property safety of the owners.

Property service providers shall take timely and reasonable measures to stop acts that violate laws and regulations such as public security, environmental protection and fire protection in the property service area, report to the relevant administrative departments and assist in handling them.
