Water Line Repair and Maintenance: What part of the water line am I responsible to maintain/repair? I have a problem in my water line. What should I do?

Per Henderson Municipal Code (HMC) 14.03.020D: �The customer is responsible for all plumbing, piping, and appurtenances from the service connection to the point of use. (The service connection is the downstream end of the second angle meter stop on the meter, or the meter discharge point at the connected fitting.) In other words, the customer is responsible for all water plumbing and devices from the end point of use inside the home to the discharge point of the meter.

The Department of Utility Services is responsible for maintaining and repairing water service line(s) from the water main (which usually runs underground in the middle of the street) to service connection; and, pay all associated costs.

Please note that per Henderson Municipal Code 11.08.010, work in the public right-of-way will require a permit from Public Works.
