A meter change with no obvious indoor leak
Note planned water use, pool top-up and irrigation before treating a changing meter as evidence of a buried house line fault. Private line repair depends on its source and documented limits.
Water use and buried line damage are different findings
Meter movement can raise a leak question, but automatic pool top-up and irrigation can also be intended uses. Supply the known schedules alongside the observation. The missing link is evidence that the loss belongs to the customer-side supply segment, rather than an indoor fixture or an outdoor branch.
Define the line before agreeing to excavation
Ask for the assessed endpoints and the reason that particular section is implicated. If the location remains uncertain, distinguish locating work from replacement work. The proposal should also state who coordinates buried utility information and which landscape or paved surface reinstatement is included after an authorized opening.
Establish the customer-side line boundary
Ask which customer-side segment can actually be assessed. Confirm responsibility and utility locating before excavation.
