I noticed today that our outside stop tap in the road - there is no pavement - has lost its cover and is completely full of earth. This must have been some time during the heavy rains, though how the cover has disappeared I don't know.
I'm concerned that the day will come when a leak occurs before our indoor stop tap in the kitchen and a flood may result. There will be no easy way of shutting off the water.
Whose responsibility is it to clear the external tap and replace the cover?
It isn't something I'd be happy to do because our road is really busy during most of the day and, ideally, any remedial work would require blocking off part of the road.
