65% of homes are owner-occupied.
Free to homeowners in Ecorse — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Ecorse, 65% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. The utility normally owns the main and the run to the curb stop; the householder normally owns what comes after it, and the exact line differs by utility.

In Ecorse, 65% of homes are owned rather than rented. Where the utility’s responsibility stops is the question that decides who pays for a water line repair.
What this site is
WaterMainCall is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and work on a service line is normally permitted and often coordinated with the utility — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we test no water, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address.Ecorse in numbers
