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


I don't have an easily accessible one. There may be one where my line
taps off the street line. You would have to dig down to the street line
to get to it.
