In most places a permit is required, because the tap and the road crossing are not yours to open. Most plumbers handle that filing themselves. A quick check on who filed what keeps the schedule intact.

Check the wall where the service line enters, usually near the meter in the basement. The outdoor curb stop is the provider's, and it needs a long key most owners do not have. Knowing the indoor valve actually turns is worth more than knowing where the outdoor one is.

Rust building up inside galvanized supply pipe is the usual cause, because the buildup narrows the bore a little at a time. The change is slow enough that people adjust to it without noticing. Gauging the pressure at the house against the street pressure shows how much the pipe is stealing.

Look where the pipe comes through the wall, since lead is soft and dull grey while galvanized steel is harder and holds a magnet. Neither check settles it if that visible section was already swapped for copper. Water providers keep line inventories now, so yours may already have the address on file.

The private length stays yours unless you arrange to have it done at the same time. Owners who match the timing avoid a second excavation across the same ground. Ask the provider which portion its funding reaches before you plan the private side.
