Hi all. I have a question about the outdoor faucet. I live in a town house and there is one faucet for every third town house which means we have to share the faucet. The other day I attached an extension (hose)to the faucet so access to turning the water on/off would be easier since the air conditioning units are placed right in front of the faucets. The town houses are older I believe they were built in the mid to late 50's. I do most of the watering since some of my neighbors are elderly and unrolling the hose and rolling it back up is difficult for them. After attaching the short hose and the faucet my neighbor gave me a hard time and took the extension off and said that I was an idiot for attaching it. When I asked her why she said that the faucet MUST always be turned off at the house because she was afraid that a major leak could occur if not always turned off at the house. Well that defeats the purpose of using the extension. I understand the water pipes are older but I need to know is she right about a leak or bursting pipe as a result of not turning the water off at the house. I'm not a plummer and would welcome any sound advice from anyone who knows about plumming. Thanks
