Another thing that hasn't been mentioned-- how would you repair such
a line anyway. Does the main line running down the street or alley
have a shut off where each line branches off to go to the individual
meterd, or would the entire main have to be shut down if a repair
was needed.

Every building has a street shutoff

Except mine. And all my neighbors. The first shutoff is on the meter at the
house.
