Water Mains in Winchester
Around Old Town, some of the lines coming into the houses are as old as the houses. When one has leaked more than once, replacing it usually costs less than patching it again.
Why water mains fail
Age, mostly. Old pipe corrodes, joints loosen as the ground settles, and roots and hard freezes finish the job. A small leak underground can run for months and only show up on the water bill.
New lines and new valves
New construction, an addition, or a switch from a well to public water all need a new line. We replace main shutoff valves too, and we label and date our work so the next person knows what they are looking at.

Water Main Installation and Repair questions
- Who is responsible for the water main, me or the utility?
In most places the property owner is responsible for the line from the meter or the property line to the building. Check with your water provider, and we can help you work out which side of the line the problem is on.
- How do I know if the leak is in the main?
Turn off everything that uses water and look at the meter. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere. A wet spot in the yard along the path of the line is another strong sign.
