If it should be this pipe that the city will foot the bill for , ha , they what a check from you for the full amount before they alou the work , some where between 5 & 7 grand , after you employ some one to do the jod for your property to the side walk or the curb in your case , then once the city returns to replace the pipe from the main under the street back to meat up with your pipe , then you can have your funds that you put up front returned to you ,but they always ask if you would like to apply them to your tax's for a credit ... lol the choice is yours .
