Who owns the water service line in Anaheim, CA

Two things here are unusual enough to be worth knowing before you dig. First, the line does not move if your meter does. Anaheim draws the boundary at the point where its piping meets yours, "normally downstream of the Utility's Meter tailpiece, regardless of the location of the Meter" - so a meter set back inside your garden rather than out at the curb does not make the pipe running to it yours. Second, paying for the pipe did not buy it. For an ordinary house connection of two inches or smaller you may install the service connection and meter yourself, or ask the City to do it - but "the Customer also has the option to request the Utility to furnish and install the Service Connection, Meter box, and Meter, at the Customer's expense", and either way Rule 16 then makes the result the Utility's property. What the tariff does not say is who pays to repair it later: it reserves the City's right to inspect, upgrade, repair or replace its own pipe, which is not the same as a promise to do so, and says nothing about the bill. If you have a leak between the street and the meter, put it to the City as the City's own pipe and ask that question directly. Your other buried pipe answers the opposite way: the same City says the entire sewer lateral is private property, including the part under the street, so under one front garden the City owns the water run and you own the sewer run. The State's register also puts a small part of Anaheim in Yorba Linda Water District's service area; if Yorba Linda Water District bills you, its own rules apply.
