What Is a Common Supply Pipe System?
Many older homes — especially terraced houses and sometimes semi-detached properties — use a common supply pipe system (also known as a shared supply). This setup involves a single pipe supplying water from the mains to two or more properties, using a shared stop tap. In simple terms, your water supply branches off from the mains along with your neighbours’.
When these older systems were installed, the pipes used were often smaller in diameter than modern ones and were commonly made of lead or iron. This combination of narrow pipework and shared access can result in reduced water pressure, particularly during peak usage times such as mornings or evenings.
How Do I Know If My Supply Pipe Is Shared?
-
Locate your external stop tap.
If it is positioned outside your property boundary or close to a neighbouring home, you may be on a shared supply. -
Turn off your stop tap to test.
After turning it off, check how many homes are affected. Be sure to warn your neighbours beforehand and ideally involve them in the process.
If you’re unable to locate your stop tap or it’s difficult to access, we recommend contacting your local water authority, who can provide further guidance.
Brennan Moling are the experts in water supply pipe replacements.
If you require a new water main from the meter to the house, look no further than the mains water supply replacement experts Brennan Moling. Many older homes were originally piped with either galvanised, copper or lead materials, and over time may have developed leaks along the way, particularly common in the water main pipe to the house.
These pipes when leaking or burst may often go unnoticed until you get a large water bill as they are generally under ground and not noticable. Low water pressure, rusty coloured water, and leaking pipes are just a few of the symptoms of poor quality piping. All will lead to pipework replacements.
