hello,
there is a large water pipe on our private property servicing a number of apartments on our property - it does not service any other property.
We had always assumed this was a private pipe as there is no record of easement on the title deeds.
Irish water came on our property and installed water meters on this pipe without our permission.
On querying, the contractor sent us a map from irish water showing that the pipe was a mains pipe and that they had responsibility for it.
Can a mains pipe be claimed to be publicly owned (irish water now) if there is no easement or right of way on the title deeds?
thanks,
rusty
