Default Bulge in mains water pipe?

I notice that where the rising main enters my house, there is a large
bulge in the pipe.
I'm sure the pipe is copper and not lead.

Is this bulge there on purpose?
If so, what is it's function?

Generally a large bulge is where there is a lead to lead or lead to
copper joint in the pipe.
