What affects the price

  • Length + depth

  • Pipe material
    PEX or copper or HDPE — code dictates.
  • City tap fee
    Toledo Public Utilities tap-in fee + permit: ~$200–$400.

What's included

  • Permit + Toledo Public Utilities coordination
  • New service line (curb stop to house)
  • Trench/pipe-burst + restoration
  • Final inspection + pressure test

When to call

Recurring leaks underground, low water pressure with no fixture issue, brown water, or after a positive pressure test by a plumber. Galvanized/lead lines (common in pre-1970 Toledo homes) should be replaced regardless of age.

Does my homeowner's insurance cover this?

Standard policies don't. Toledo Public Utilities offers a 'water service line warranty' for ~$5–$8/mo. Worth pricing before failure.
