## City Water vs. Homeowner Responsibility in Georgia
In Georgia, public city and county water departments fix street water mains up to the curbside meter box. Any broken pipe between the meter box and the house, worn-out water pressure regulator (above Georgia's 80 PSI indoor plumbing code cap), slab leak, or indoor burst pipe soaking floors and walls is the homeowner's responsibility.
