Who is responsible for the water pipe leakage behind the water meter and in front of the house?

Legal analysis: the property should be responsible for water leakage in front of the water meter, and the residents should be responsible for water leakage in the pipeline behind the water meter. Therefore, the practice of water supply companies does not violate the provisions of the Property Law, but users should not bear the cost of water leakage.

Legal basis: Article 51 of the Regulations on Property Management, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable television and other units are responsible for the maintenance and conservation of relevant pipelines, facilities and equipment within the property management area according to law. If the units specified in the preceding paragraph temporarily occupy or dig roads and sites due to maintenance, they shall promptly restore the original state.
