The main valve in front of the water meter is broken. Is it necessary for the property to collect and pay the water fee?

If any pipeline or valve in front of the water meter fails or leaks, the loss caused by the leakage has nothing to do with the user, and any maintenance cost, pipeline valve replacement and leakage cost have nothing to do with the user. If the property charges any fees to the users, let them issue invoices and then go to court to sue for the refund of the fees, prosecution fees and lawyer's fees. The user's water consumption is subject to water meter measurement, and any cost without water meter measurement has nothing to do with the user. It is illegal to charge beyond the scope of water meter measurement. These charges set by the property are also illegal. Once this phenomenon of arbitrary charges occurs, users can bring a lawsuit to the court, and all expenses incurred in the course of litigation shall be borne by the property. Because the fault lies in the property, the responsibility must also be borne by the property.
