Free to homeowners in Shamokin — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Shamokin, 70% 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.

70% of Shamokin households own their home. The pipe between the street and the meter is where the argument usually is.
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.Shamokin in numbers

The annual notice
Your water system publishes a consumer confidence report every year. It is the document that tells you what is in the supply before it reaches your pipe.
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 Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has no state license for plumbers. Its Department of Labor and Industry states it has no jurisdiction and keeps no records of which municipalities require one, so the only reliable answer is your own city or township. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
