should the city pay for the the main water pipe going into the house?

[Richard Herrera]

Hi all,

currently working on a deal with a house that has an issue with the main water pipe going into the house from the street. The city wants us to make a new piping going the opposite direction which is fine but they also saying that I have to do it all the way to the main valve on the street not the curbside, but in my opinion I think it should be my responsibility to run the piping from the house to the curbside valve not the street main valve because this should be done by the city. Is this something that the city should be doing or am I wrong? anybody has a similar issue. Any advised will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
