A meter-area wet patch needs a boundary decision
Describe where the water appears relative to the meter without accessing utility equipment. Private line repair depends on its source and documented limits.
Describe the meter-side position without opening equipment
A wet patch near a meter raises a boundary question as well as a source question. Provide a safe photograph and describe where water appears relative to the visible installation. Do not lift covers, manipulate utility equipment or excavate in order to decide whether the leak is public or private.
Confirm the responsible first assessment
Ask the utility or proposed repair recipient which section they can assess from the known location. A private quote should state its endpoints and any meter-side exclusion. If ownership is unresolved, the appropriate contact needs to be established before excavation is accepted; closeness to the meter does not settle the boundary.
Establish the customer-side line boundary
Ask whether the utility or a customer-side contractor should assess that section. Confirm responsibility and utility locating before excavation.
