Your local water company is liable for your water main to your boundary. You are liable for any leaks after that.

As Bamber said:

Water Company responsibility ends at the highway boundary. Give them a call, they may be able to offer you some assistance and might even repair the leak for you if they have a scheme.

Nope,

Some will provide a free connection in the street if you do the work on your property first.

Others will offer to do it a t a subsidised rate.

Some Water Co's will repair a leak free or at a reduced rate, others will just hound you so that you repair it.
