Who is responsible for which part
Marin Water owns and maintains the service line from the main to and including the meter. The pipe from the meter to the building is the property owner's.
- Marin Municipal Water District
- The District states that "the service line leading to your property is owned and maintained by Marin Water, as is the water meter" - the run from the main in the street, and the meter itself.
- The property owner
- The District states that "the pipe that runs from the meter to your home belongs to you and is your responsibility", and answers the leak question directly: "you are responsible for any leaks on your side of the water meter. Your water service begins at your water meter."
What else is worth knowing
In Tiburon, not every address is Marin Water's. The State's register puts Marin Water's system over about 74% of Tiburon's land and does not reach Angel Island; the part of Tiburon on the island, about 26% of the town's land, is mapped to Angel Island State Park's own water system. If you are on the island, that system's own rules apply; anywhere else in Tiburon, check the name on your water bill.
