[QUOTE="Allen, post: 318601, member: 389"] If the water line comes up on the outside of the house, there is probably a valve right before it enters the house. I am guessing that's where the problem lies, the valve is not below grade. Thus it freezes and breaks. There is probably also a curbstop somewhere between the house and the water main, which is below grade. But as noted above, who (but me) actually has the tool to reach down and shut off that valve? The city does, but you would have to call and have them come out to turn off the water. I'd hazard a guess they've been quite busy doing just that. But that only stops the leak, it doesn't prevent it. [/QUOTE]
