I have a strange situation in a shop that has been in the family for a century - a small shop in the middle of a terrace of similar.
There is a former outside toilet, and a supply pipe that comes out of the ground to where the cistern used to be. The shop is on a meter (inside) and this supply pipe is not on my side of the meter.
When there was a burst some years ago, we talked to all the neighbours and closed off all 4 underground stop taps at the corners of the block of streets, and the pipe was still running. So my plumber simply crimped the end and left it.
I would like to get this thing properly capped, but I have no idea where the supply actually comes from.
How do I deal with this? Phone call to the water company and explain?
Cheers
Ferdinand
