The homeowner generally owns the service line from the meter or curb stop up to the house, and the utility owns what sits on its side of that valve. That split decides who pays when a line under the front yard starts weeping. If you are unsure which side a leak is on, a pressure check at the meter usually settles it.

Look for a small metal or plastic lid near the property line, often in line with the meter box and close to the street edge. On lots around St. Helena and Rose Hill it is frequently buried under a few inches of grass. A plumber can key it open with a proper curb key; a screwdriver and a garden trowel tend to break the lid.

It depends on the policy and on what caused the failure, so call your insurance provider before assuming either way. Sudden bursts and slow long-term seepage are usually treated very differently. Photograph the damage and keep the failed section of pipe if a plumber removes it.

Closing the main is a sensible step if the house will sit empty through a cold snap. Leave the heat on low as well, since an unheated house with water still in the lines is the harder risk. Open a low faucet after closing the valve to drop pressure in the system.
