What Is the Main Water Line?
The main water line is the pipe that carries water from the city meter, usually near the street, into your home. In most cases the homeowner is responsible for the section from the meter to the house.
Because it is buried, a leak can run for a long time before you notice.
Signs of a Water Line Leak
Look for these signs in your yard and inside the house.
- Wet or muddy patches in the yard, even in dry weather
- A strip of greener grass along the line
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Higher water bill with no change in use
- Water meter moving when everything is off
- Water bubbling up near the meter box

Call (512) 894-6911Why Water Lines Leak in Round Rock
Shifting clay soil is a big factor. As the ground swells and shrinks, buried pipes move, joints loosen and older pipes crack. Tree roots, corrosion and high water pressure add to the problem.
Repair or Replace the Water Line?
One leak in a fairly new line can often be spot repaired. An older line with several leaks is usually better replaced.
- Spot repair: dig at the leak and replace a short section
- Full replacement: new line from meter to house, sometimes by trenchless boring
- Pressure valve check: high pressure can cause repeat leaks
Ask the plumber about permits and whether the city needs to be involved at the meter.

FAQ
Water Line Leak Repair FAQs
How do I check for a water line leak?
Turn off all water inside and outside, then watch the leak indicator on your meter. If it moves, water is escaping somewhere.
Who fixes the leak at the meter?
The city usually handles leaks on its side of the meter. The homeowner usually handles the line from the meter to the house.
Can I keep using water with a line leak?
Small leaks may allow short-term use, but fix them soon. Large leaks or bubbling water need the main shut off.
Is trenchless water line replacement possible?
Often, yes. Plumbers can bore a new line under the yard with less digging, depending on the site.
