No, I am going to tell them it is not safe to do so and therefore, a safety issue.

As far as the water system, it is not included in my scope of inspections. I do however instruct my clients to have it checked by a reputable company immediately after closing.

Regardless of what the device it's hooked up to, the condition is improper. Will you not report it as such?
