The homeowner is entirely responsible for maintaining and repairing burst water pipes located inside the property boundaries (such as within interior walls, crawlspaces, attics, or under sinks). Conversely, if a water supply pipe bursts on the municipal side before your property's main water meter or shut-off valve, the local public water utility is responsible for the repair. Verification: Check your local water authority guidelines to determine the exact boundary line where municipal responsibility ends and homeowner responsibility begins.
