Anyone familiar with water meters ? UPDATE

when was the house build?

and do you know what material the main is made out of ?

they used some black stuff in the 70s that generally lasts about 40-50 years

in the 80s the started using blue stuff which they claim should last longer


i had to have my water main replaced a few years ago because the line was cracked and it was leaking into the yard (not a ton, but enough to tell)
The main has nothing to do with it unless the meter is in a manhole at the curb and the water travels underground to the house
The only main id ever want and have is copper and lead free solder joints
God only knows what a plastic main for 40 years ago is made of
