Who is responsible for determining the type of water supply in a property?

Determining the type of water supply in a property is typically the responsibility of an inspector. Inspectors possess the specialized knowledge and training to evaluate various aspects of a property's systems, including its plumbing and water supply. They can identify whether the water source is municipal, well, or other types of water supply.

An inspector conducts a thorough assessment to ensure that the water supply meets safety and functionality standards, and their findings are crucial for potential buyers and homeowners. This expertise helps in making informed decisions about the property’s condition and any necessary repairs or upgrades.

While real estate agents, homeowners, and contractors may have some insight into the property's water supply, they do not have the same level of training and expertise as inspectors to accurately assess and determine the specific type and condition of the water supply.
