Who is responsible for the water pipe before the water meter enters 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. It is agreed that the water pipe behind the water meter will be arranged by the developer when the house is handed over, and the developer will bear the responsibility during the warranty period. 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.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 283 Where the parties have agreed on matters such as cost sharing and income distribution of the house and its ancillary facilities, such agreement shall prevail; If there is no agreement or the agreement is unclear, it shall be determined according to the proportion of the owner's exclusive area.

Article 284 The owner may manage the building and its ancillary facilities by himself, or entrust the management to the property service enterprise or other managers.

The owner has the right to replace the realty service enterprise or other managers selected by the construction unit according to law.
