Who is responsible for which part

In Windsor, installing and maintaining the water service up to the meter is the Windsor Water District's job. Section 12-3-365 provides that "All water service pipes and connections to water mains within the District shall be installed and maintained by the District to the customer side of the meter, except as otherwise provided by an agreement executed by the District."

Windsor Water District
The water service pipe and its connection to the main, installed and maintained by the District up to the customer side of the meter.
The property owner
The code assigns the District installation and maintenance up to the customer side of the meter, does not address ownership, and says nothing further about the pipe beyond the meter. Damage the owner or consumer causes is theirs to pay for: any service pipe, fittings or meter "damaged as a result of negligence, malicious acts or intent shall be repaired by the District and the actual cost of the repair shall be charged to the owner or consumer."

What else is worth knowing

The split can be varied by "an agreement executed by the District", so a property with its own agreement may differ. The District is a separate public agency from the Town of Windsor, though its code sits in the Town's. It serves nearly all of Windsor, but not every address: Bricoleur Vineyards' own small water system reaches a small part of the town, and a small part is on no published water service area. Check the name on your water bill.
