However, the City claimed the pipe ruptured at the City mid-street main & the 'emergency' shut-off was charged out at $1200.The City then insisted that we pay for a new replacement water line from their mid-street main to the inside meter because the old hook-up/interface was lead pipe.

More importantly, I don't have a desire to jump into a market where just about everything is going 20-50% above asking, even though my plan is to buy and hold.I even got shut out in Sacramento after generating an all cash offer.
