Hi.

I have just discovered a water mains stop-cock under a small square
lid in my garden (ex-council). I have asked them to move it, but they
said they cannot/won't unless I agree to pay for a new supply pipe. I
think that's a bit of liberty, as they currently have their property
trespassing on mine. A year ago I successfully asked the local
authority to remove a "trespassing" lampost at zero cost to myself, so
I wonder were I stand if I want to force Southern Water's hand.

Whose water does the water control?

I assume just my supply.

Why not just ask them if they will move it in to the next street for
you?

Why do you use the name "Hopeless" when you post?
