Policy on Water Service Line Leaks

The City is responsible for the water service line from the tap on the water main up to and including the curb stop. The building owner is responsible for the water line from the connection to the curb stop into the building. The building owner is responsible for repair and or replacement on the building owners’ side of the curb stop (including the connection to the curb stop).

This is how we determine if it is your leak.
When the curb stop valve is shut the water stops leaking ---- indicates that the leak is in the homeowner/building owner pipe to house/building.
