I know here, you are responsible for the water main from the point where it crosses into your property. If it breaks in your yard, you are on the hook for repairing it. If it breaks in the street, the city foots the bill. If it breaks right on the line, I guess you battle it out. :)
Recently here in Los Angeles county, a leak occurred in front of a person's house.
Paula Glickstein estimates 100,000 gallons of water by now have flowed from the ruptured pipe connected to her North Hollywood property before she could get the DWP to respond.
She says she called DWP as soon as she noticed the leak, but hit nothing but roadblocks when trying to get permission to cut the roots of the city-owned tree.
Work crews showed up after she contacted Eyewitness News and the story aired over the weekend.
DWP officials say they will not saddle Glickstein with what would be a massive water bill.

[Link: abc7.com] Its different with cable and phone here. If you cut the line in your yard, they will come repair it. Free. Go figure.
You mean cable and phone handle things differently from one another? Or cable and phone will both repair a line for free, which is different from the water company repairing a pipe?
