Water and Sewer Service Lines
Did you know?
Water and sewer service lines connect a homeowner’s property to the Township's water and wastewater systems. Homeowners are responsible for repairs to the portion of water and sewer service lines located on their property. If a leak, break, or clog occurs in the private portion of these lines, the homeowner is responsible for hiring a plumber or contractor and paying any of the associated repair costs. A breakdown to these lines could happen without warning resulting in an unexpected and costly emergency repair. The lifespan of a service line depends on many factors, including construction material, soil conditions and use and the location, number, and species of nearby trees.
While not typically covered by basic homeowners’ insurance, residents are encouraged to check with their current provider to find out what their coverage is in this area and to arm themselves with information such as deductible amounts and exclusions or confirm if coverage is offered as an add-on.
Residents may also consider coverage from an external service plan provider.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Doesen't my homeowners insurance already cover these repairs?
Typically, no. Most homeowners are surprised to learn that they are responsible for the repair and replacement of broken or leaking utility lines on their property. While most basic homeowners policies will pay to repair the damage created by failed utility lines, they typically do not cover the cost of the repair of the line itself. SLWC encourages residents to call their insurance company to determine their actual coverage.
Does this coverage include well lines?
Yes, coverage provides for repair or replacement of either water service or well lines.
