Responsibility usually stops at the public main: everything from the house to that point is the owner's, pavement crossing included, and the main is the borough's or the authority's. Where two attached homes were built as one project the laterals can run side by side under the same strip of ground, which is worth knowing before anyone opens it.

It varies by address: older attached housing inside the built-up streets is almost always on a municipal supply, while properties out toward the edges can still be on a private well. A water bill answers it in seconds.

Check the basement wall nearest the street, generally within a few feet of where the service line comes through, with the meter close beside it. There is a second valve out at the pavement called the curb stop, and that one belongs to the water authority rather than to you.

Sometimes a blockage clears from one side alone, though a failed section of a common stack has to be reached at the failure, and that can be behind the wall of the other home. Sorting the access question with the other household before the work starts usually saves a second visit.

The curb stop is the shutoff in the ground between the property and the street, and it belongs to the water authority rather than to the owner. Where the interior valve has seized, the authority is who gets called to close the curb stop so the inside work can proceed.
