WATER MAIN BREAK?

What is a water main?  The water main is the plumbing pipe the provides water from the source to the building.  A well or the city water typically is the source of water for a building.  The city provides a shutoff and meter box which is found under the ground with a cover plate on it.  When you shut the water off at the street to a building that is what we are talking about here, shutting it off at the meter.  The city is responsible for the meter box that measures your usage along with the shutoff valve on the back of it.  The owner the of the property is responsible for the shutoff valve on the front side of the meter box as well as the piping from the meter box to the building.  If you are looking for a water main replacement, water main repair, or a trenchless water main replacement right now, pick up the phone and call Hydro Plumbing.
