Default How difficult/expensive to move a refrigerator and it's water line?

Doing a conservative renovation in my kitchen and one thing I'd like to do
is move my refrigerator but it has it's water line already hooked up to
it. I just want to push it down about 5 feet - would that be terribly
difficult? I assume the water line is running through the wall that's
behind the unit and behind where I want it to go - you think? Thanks for
any advice.


I missed the part about how expensive but it's your fault for not
putting everything you wanted to say in the body of the post.

Would you write a paper for school, including grad school, and put part
of it only on the title page, or would you include it in the paper?

Anyhow, we're talking at most 15 minutes, so if you cant' do this
yourself, I'd wait until I had other chores for a handyman or plumber to
do. Surely you can find the valve for the icemaker, turn it off,
disconnect the line from the fridge, and do without automatic ice until
you have some other chores for him to do. Otherwise a plumber will
charge you his minimum house call, which might be an hour of his work or
more.
