Your Water Plumbing System
The water system for a home or other property is connected to a City water main through a water lateral service line via a water meter. The property owner is responsible for the maintenance of any portion of the water system from the meter. A diagram showing the division between what is the City’s responsibility and what is the responsibility of the property owner can be found here (PDF)

- Maps & Records - The Public Utilities Department has records showing when your water line was installed and can provide a map showing where your water line connects to the City’s water main. You can contact the Public Utilities’ Infrastructure Information Section at 619-527-7482. However, the City does not have diagrams or other information regarding where water lines are located on your property. For that information, you may want to contact a licensed plumber.
