Who is Responsible for Fixing Water Line Leaks?
BWA Association Responsible: If the leak is in the water main.
Home Owner Responsibility: If the leak is anywhere along the Homeowner’s supply line, starting with the saddle (how the supply line is connected to the main) and continuing into the house, the Homeowner will bear the expense of the repair. The majority of the time this is the situation. The leak is either in the supply line entering the home, the curb stop (shut off valve) or in the saddle which provides the attachment of the supply line to the main.
