sharing water guide problem

[beetle2004]

I already live in a new towmhouse for 1.5 years, and I plan to live here for another 3 years, then buy a single house.
Now my neighbor asks me to share water guide, the total price is $440. The problems are: (1) because I plan to live in here for only 3 years, is it necessary to have a water guide? (2) this neighbor only share entrance with me, not drive way. So, is it better share water guide with drive way side or with entrance side?
Thank you very much if you can give me an answer.

First time to hear about this. I guess it is the water drainage thing for their houses.

drain spout， down spout ？
不是屋檐上的，是把雨水导向地面的那根垂直管对吗？

汉语叫排水管，雨漏，水漏子？

仅供参考。

anyway $440 is too expensive for the sharing for townhouse

 

[beetle2004]

肯定是要share的，因为这是两家都需要用的东西，如果你不share的话不但给人骂，人家还能告到法院。另外这个东西也是有用的，没有的话时间长了水滴会把地面打坏。至於怎样share，看看别的邻居怎样装就行了。

For townhouses, parts of fences, rain gutters, and even roofs are shared...
