ccmtcanada Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Gerritt.... Wow....you seem to have ALL the luck! With the temps this way, I'm sure you'll be able to organize a little ice road hockey! I drive from the burbs to Toronto every day, and can I tell you how much I love those watermain breaks along Bayview and Yonge? Jeez.... So...when's the ice road hockey game? Looking foward to your pics. Cliff Edited February 8, 2007 by ccmtcanada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 The city looks at the ownership of pipes alittle differently down here. The county/city provides you with a hook up at the edge of your property and the homeowner owns from the meter across the property and thruout the house. This also applies to the sewer lines so if it is broken after the meter its your dime. Good luck with the water issue Gerritt. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddyk Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Gerrit. I spent 30 years repairing broken water mains with the City of Toronto. If you have any water damage in your basement take lots of pictures. The courts always rule in favor of the home owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
