How does neighbor's insurance company determine if my condominium unit's plumbing caused water damage to neighbor's flooring?
Check With your Condo Association first. Your Condominium Association would usually have a Master Insurance Policy that covers losses from common owned property, structural components and conveyances and liabilities. This would generally include plumbing in exterior and common walls and possibly resulting water damges. Generally a Carpenter or Inspector will inspect the damaged flooring down to the sub flooring if necessary and trace the water stains or rot back to teh source. Water damage can can be higly visible and easily traced by a Carpenter once the damage area is exposed, often even without esposing it. Water damage is one of the more common property loss exposures. If there is no water source for the damage in the inspected unit and it tracks back through a common wall, then it's fairly easy to determine the source of water damage. Check with your Condo Association first as they may have the coverage needed for community loss exposures.

Who owns the shared wall of a townhouse?
Check your Homeowner Association by laws or any Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. This should describe what the Association is responsible and what the unit owner is responsible for: your governing documents define the line of ownership between what a unit owner owns and what the association owns. In all probability, the association owns the area between the townhouse shared walls, since that's where the plumbing, electricity, soundproofing, and insulation are generally located. Generally, there are reciprocal easements that allow for any repairs or improvements that must be done from either side. Rights and obligations are also addressed in such instruments as Homeowner Association Rules and Regulations and Declarations of Restrictive Covenants.
How does a condominium decide it is time to replace its waste lines?
It is important to understand where association ownership of the waste lines begins and meets with the public utility ownership of the lines. Key here is a basic schematic of the waste lines, which should be available in the 'as builts' turned over to the association by the developer. Several indicators will point to potential issues in the waste lines in a high-density, multi-family building, including all maintenance records that relate to the waste lines. The board can survey owners about in-unit plumbing issues that may point to waste lines. Finally, your reserve study should include waste lines in the plumbing component category, so that when it is time to replace them, the association has the funds to cover the expense.
