What is the name of your state- Missouri
My neighbors water meter and water supply line to their house are on my property and run through my yard. I dug down less than 16" to level out the area where their pipe is so I could level it to expand my driveway. In doing so I found that their water pipe was not to depth according to code even before I removed the earth that I did. I did this in the spring. For the time being I put down gravel. A week or so ago their water pipe must have frozen and burst. I am trying to figure out if I am responsible for repairing the line or if they are due to the fact that it was not up to code in the first place.
