My public water supply pipe is krimped just after it enters the house and
just before the shutoff valve. It has been this way for a long time and I
have no reason to suggest it would continue to be fine. Water pressure is
very strong in the house and there are no leaks.

I'm being told to fix this. Since there is no simple way to work on this
pipe, and shutting off water from the outside would be extremely
difficult, is there a way to strengthen the pipe with something that would
clamp over the existing pipe?

Thanks!

Here in my North NJ town it's a $65.00 charge/
