Poop Is it that expensive to replace a water line? - Page 3

I've been getting mailers from my water company (through some insurance company) concerning the water line between the meter and my house. I'm responsible for the 30' of pipe from the meter to my house, I get that. The mailing makes it sound like it would be $8,000 to $10,000 to repair the line if it failed. Really? Digging down six feet and replacing a section of 30' pipe is $8K to $10K. How do I get in on this ripoff (business)?

None of this would have any bearing on your finances at all if you'd just ~~pay the protection money~~ buy the insurance they're trying to sell.
