A “main water line” or “main line” as it is commonly called, refers to the water service line that connects a city’s municipal water system to a building or home. In most jurisdictions the line becomes the responsibility of the building or home owner at the curb stop (valve). In other cases the owner’s responsibility can extend even further. It is not unheard of for the jurisdiction to start at the tap on the city main water line which is commonly located in the street that the property is located on.
The main water line serves a vital function supplying a home with a fresh water supply. Given the high importance of the water line, they are constructed and designed to last for a very long time. However, event the most well designed lines are susceptible to damage. The most common culprit of main water line damage is age. Older water lines were originally installed using lead or sometimes galvanized steel pipes. Given enough time these pipes will become damaged by any number of causes. Amongst the most common are slight shifts in the ground referred to as ground movement, tree root intrusions or other obstructions.
