Hi,
I have a leak on the main stop tap in the house, so I called a plumber and he was unable to find the main stop tap outside my house. It would seem everyone has a grate for the water right outside their house except for mine. The only thing we did find was that my neighbour had 2 outside his. One of these was a stop tap, the other was full of water, when the plumber drained the water all he found was a hexagon steel blank plate about 1 inch in diameter, it looked like this had been a tap at one point but had been blanked off, another problem was that it was leaking so the chamber would fill back up with water.
Has anyone ever heard of this or know of any other place I might find my tap, I called the water board who are investigating this, obviously I need to fix this leak asap but I cant because I cant shut the water off to my house. Am I right in assuming the tap outside my house is the water boards responsibility, I have a horrible feeling this could get expensive.
