No. You write a letter to the society stating the issue and ask to connect the pipe to drainage, and inform them that it is some beginning and not done by you and ask explanation how you are responsible for that!!!

Out side your flat is common area. The connections of so called drainage and water pipes not connecting from your flat, how can you responsible ? Soceity make take responsibility to repair and get it down neatly. If the connections from your flat, you have responsibility to rectify.

Sir,

It is the duty of the managing committee of the society to arrange, alter or repair the external drainage water line, this is very well specified in the Model Bye-Laws of Co-Operative Housing Societies.

Good Luck,

Kishor Mehta
