Water Main Break

Just got a call from a tenant this morning, there is a water main leak at on of my SFH. It is coming up right where the driveway meets the street. As the water meter/shut of valve is on the other side of the house as the driveway, I assume it is the main line and will be the responsibility of the water company.

They sent someone out and have to send a second crew to "further investigate" First time this has happened to one of my rental properties. If the water company fixes it, will they also take care of replacing the part of the driveway they tear up and reseeding any grass? Any idea on costs estimate if I end up having to replace it? You can see the water coming up, but it seems like it is a fairly small leak.
Thanks in Advance!
Daniel
