I came home from work one day, around 2010, and saw water gushing down the street. Sadly discovered it was from my house. I can't remember how I got the number but I called the company who was responsible for placing the water pipes. There is access (under a heavy lid) to my pipes. The lid was removed and the area excavated. It appeared the plastic pipes had been poorly placed. The elbow was not 45 degrees but more like a V shape. That caused tension and the pipe came apart at the connection point; hence, gushing water. The company came in a replaced that section of pipe, put it all back together - no charge. Guess I was lucky. In patio villas, your "water lid" is on the lawn of your neighbor to the left of you, back facing your house. Hope you can resolve your problem as easily as I resolved mine.
