6. These are lines from the street to the house so I don't know who is responsible.

I would think it would be the municipalities responsibility up to the water meter.

I know that is how it works with electric coming into the house.

Fortunately we don't live in the city but still worry a bit about the line that runs from our submerged deep well pump to the house. IIRC that line is buried at 5 foot.
