Who is responsible for which part

Inside Vera Water and Power's water service area the customer owns and maintains the whole water service line, from the corporation stop on the main to the point of use, including the water meter. Vera states: "You own and are responsible for the maintenance of the water service line and its appurtenances."

The property owner
The water service line and its appurtenances, including the house shut-off valve, the sprinkler control valve box with its backflow preventer and the water meter. Vera states: "The water service line shall be defined as starting at the corporation stop on the main and continuing to the point of use." Damage from freezing and vandalism and water lost to leaks are also the customer's responsibility.

What else is worth knowing

The dividing point is the corporation stop on the main. Vera states that it "is responsible for everything from the corporation stop and the water main", so the main and the corporation stop are Vera's. Unlike most utilities, Vera puts the water meter on the customer's side. This answer applies inside Vera's water service area as the Washington State Department of Health maps it, which covers about 17% of the City of Spokane Valley; other systems serve the rest under their own rules.
