$6,000-$10,000
the City of Canton's estimate for replacing a galvanized service line privately
Canton's galvanized service line project
The City of Canton is running a citywide, four-year project to replace galvanized water service lines that must be replaced under federal rules. The replacement is free to the owner with a signed work agreement, and the City estimates doing it privately would cost $6,000 to $10,000.
Until construction reaches your property, leaks on the private side of the service line remain the homeowner's responsibility. The City owns the line from the main to the shut-off at the property line, and the owner is responsible from there to the house.
New water service work in Canton needs a City of Canton plumbing permit. It must be done by a City-licensed plumber, unless an owner-occupant of a single-family home does the work.
