Who owns the water line — me or the city?

Generally the homeowner owns the line from the meter to the house. We repair that portion and help clarify where responsibility shifts.

Can you fix it without digging up the yard?

Often yes — we locate the failure precisely and use trenchless methods where suitable to minimize digging.
