Below is a list of useful definitions. You will find these mentioned elsewhere in this section, and in correspondence we may send you.

The Service Pipe
The whole of the water pipe from the main to the internal water fittings served by mains pressure within the premises. The pipe is divided into two sections of responsibility.

The Communication Pipe (CP)
This is normally the length of pipe from the connection to the water main, to a point where the pipe crosses the boundary of the street within which the main is laid. This pipe is normally maintained by Bristol Water

The Customer Supply Pipe (SP)
This is normally the length of pipe from the boundary of the street within which the main is laid, up to the internal water fittings supplied by mains pressure, but in exceptional cases the supply pipe extends right up to the connection to the water main. This section is owned and maintained by the owners of the property(ies) served by that pipe
