Linebacker® Protection

Maine Water's Linebacker® Plan can prevent you from unexpected repair costs for your water service line. We are here to help.

Get protected

This program safeguards your water service line in the event of damage like breaks and leaks in underground service line.

Did you know as a homeowner you are responsible for your water service line? Without protection, you could face thousands of dollars in unexpected costs to repair the underground piping that runs from the water main to your home.

The homeowner is responsible for:

  • The piping from the curb box shutoff valve that is typically near the property line
  • All household plumbing

Maine Water is responsible for:

  • Water distribution from the water main in the street
  • Service from the water main to the company - owned curb box shutoff valve
  • Installation and maintenance of the water meter
