Who is responsible for which part

North Marin Water District puts everything from its meter onward on the consumer. Regulation 10 provides that "The consumer shall, at his risk, furnish, install, maintain, repair and retain ownership and control over the pipes and water receiving equipment leading from the outlet of the District's water meter".

The property owner
The pipes and water receiving equipment from the outlet of the District's meter, owned and controlled by the consumer - including connecting the consumer's pipeline to the meter, and any pressure regulators or pumps, which go "on the consumer's side of the meter and at his own risk and expense."

What else is worth knowing

Regulation 10 fixes the consumer's side and says the meter is the District's; it does not itself state who maintains the service pipe between the main and the meter. If the consumer's pipes cause damage or nuisance to the District or other consumers, the District can require them to be repaired or replaced. The District serves most of Novato, but not every address: Marin Municipal Water District serves a small part of the city, and if it bills you, its own rules apply - check the name on your water bill.
