water logging
(OP)
I was at a house the other day and noticed the back yard had a lot of water standing.Further there was steady flow of water along the fence with their neighbour.The owner said that the water never dries up. They have stopped using the sprinkler system but this has not helped.My question is where can this water be coming from and what are the possible ways of correcting this problem.

It just started, see if his or the neighbour water bill increased dramatically. If not, then the leak is from the CC (curb cock) to the water meter.
You can turn off the CC at the property line of the client and neighbour, and that will stop the flow if the leak is there.
If its neither of those, then relook the artesian well.

Curious? How would the Municipal Water supply be able to tell its their water?
I would think they would be able to tell the amount of chlorine to prove it is not groundwater but the free chlorine might be all gone by the time it goes thru the soil.
I would like to know if there is a way I am missing.

However, a previous suggestion should be followed first. Shut of the water to both houses at the meter. Wait a while and then check to see if the water flow decreases. If it does then you will know that it is a meter or water service to the house that is leaking. If this doesn't solve the problem, it might be a leaking water main. If neither of these, then you might assume either a leaking pool or artesian water source.
