If you don't reside in a newly built home, chances are you live in a house with original plumbing. In Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, the original #watermain was typically made using galvanized pipe. You might be reading this because you're concerned about a potential water main burst or are already dealing with this issue. How much would it cost to replace the main water line from the city to the front of the house? We determine the cost based on asking the right questions: How many feet are there from the water meter to the structure of the house? What size piping is currently in place? What type of material are you considering for the replacement? Is the water main located under concrete or grass?
Suppose the distance from the city water meter to your house is 40 feet, the pipe diameter is 1 inch, and you plan to upgrade the old pipe to copper. Let's assume it is buried under regular soil, and we will include the installation of a new pressure regulator and shutoff valve. The estimated cost ranges from $4,500 to $7,000.
