agree  Matheus Chaud: Yes, "residential" certainly seems to be an important part of the concept.

  -> Obrigado, Matheus! É que o termo "service" sugerido pelo colega não diferencia entre o comercial, o industrial e o residencial, uma separação nitidamente feita pelas concessionárias.

service lines


Explanation:
or "water service lines"

e.g.,
Am I responsible for my water and sewer service lines?
Yes, property owners are responsible for the water and sewer service lines that run from their home’s exterior to the municipal service lines in the street.
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/service_line_protection/slp...

What to know about service line protection
The City of Phoenix has become aware that some of our customers have recently received mail from a company suggesting the need to purchase “water service line protection.” Similar mailings from various companies have occurred over the last several years, all offering coverage for repairs that may become necessary for the main household water line that runs between the water meter and house.

The Village offers a Water Service Line Repair Program through St. Louis County, which pays for the repair of faulty and leaking residential water service lines located on the outside of the house.
