Yes they are correct. The home owner is responsible for everything on there property.

The city is responsible all the way to your property line. To many times blame for things gets passed around.

Hello, the city is responsible for the curbside valve, everything after the property line including the valve before the meter, is usually the homeowners responsibility.

I'm a licensed plumberi Manitoba and the main shut off valve before the meter is the home owner's responsibility, it would be wise to replace it while the city crews have the water off to replace their curb stop otherwise you will be having to schedule with them and a plumber to do such repair.

I think you will find every municipality may be different, In Halton region they would replace the shutoff before the meter I do believe Hamilton is the same
