Key takeaways
- Who pays for a strata plumbing repair depends on where the fault is and how your scheme treats that pipe or fitting. Your strata manager confirms which it is.
- Hunter Water's side ends at the point of connection. The sewer pipes, water pipes and stormwater on the private side belong to the property.
- A leak or blockage that affects more than one unit needs tracing to an exact spot before anyone can settle the bill.
- Tenants in units report urgent plumbing to their agent or landlord, who then works with the strata manager.
- Testable backflow devices must be tested every year by an accredited tester and registered with Hunter Water.
