As per title, water is dripping from cold water pipes under a
worksurface in cupboards.

After drying these pipes water collects on these, finally dripping on
items below. Its not doing the cabinets any good.



I was thinking along similar lines but this must be a common problem but
not aware of an equally common solution.



Only a small possibility but I once came across someone who suffered
excess condensation on a cold water pipe, it supplied the normal
kitchen cold and appliances but also an outside tap.
This tap leaked a fair bit and the householder not being on a meter
just lived with it as it flowed down a drain.
Once the water from the incoming main got colder in the autumn added
to the heating going on the constant through put of cold water caused
a lot of dripping.
Probably removed some heat from the house as well.
