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.Saint Louis in numbers

Whose half is it
The utility normally owns the main and the portion to the curb stop; the householder normally owns the run from there to the building. The dividing line differs by utility, and it is worth establishing before anybody digs.
Galvanized requiring replacement
A galvanized service line counts as requiring replacement when it is, or ever was, downstream of a lead line. Ordinary galvanized with no lead history is filed separately and is not in that category.

Checking a plumber in Missouri
Missouri has no state plumbing board. Section 341.010 of the Revised Statutes requires a certificate for plumbers working in cities or towns of fifteen thousand or more inhabitants, and the chapter elsewhere recognizes licenses issued by any county or city operating under plumbing rules, so the office that issued one is a local office. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
