Is the user responsible or the property responsible for the water leakage between the water meter and the main valve? What is the legal basis?

It is neither the responsibility of the user nor the responsibility of the property, but the responsibility of the developer and the responsibility of the user behind the main valve. The water pipe from the water meter to the main valve of the household is built by the developer, not the user or the property construction, so we can only find the developer.

This year, China's property law has clearly stipulated that the property is responsible for the water leakage in front of the water meter and the residents are responsible for the water leakage behind the water meter.

According to relevant regulations, the warranty period of commercial housing pipeline is 2 years, during which the construction enterprise is responsible for maintenance, and the construction enterprise is also responsible for economic claims.

Extended data:

The first anti-drip water meter adopts a magnetic pressure-sensitive element composed of magnetic materials as an anti-drip mechanism and is placed in the meter body of the water inlet. When tap water flows out in the form of water drops, the magnetic pressure-sensitive mechanism will intermittently supply water to the water meter for metering. In this way, the initial flow rate of the water meter can be less than 0.5 liter/hour,

However, because the water meter with this structure uses the magnetic column as the piston, it is most afraid of impurities such as rust, iron, mud and sand in the water, and its magnetic column is most easily stuck by impurities in the water, so it no longer has the function of preventing dripping.

The second type of anti-drip water leakage meter is to guide tap water with small flow to the impeller box of the water meter with small tubes or holes, and aim at the impeller of the meter core for spraying, so as to concentrate the kinetic energy of water with small flow to push the impeller and make the impeller rotate, thus achieving the purpose of measuring small flow. The water meter in this way can make the initial flow reach 2 l/h.
