At least for me in CA, the water line from the meter at the edge of the street (utility source) to my house is considered part of my property/my responsibility. As such it is covered by my homeowners insurance policy like any other aspect of my property. Anything upstream of the meter including the meter is owned by the utility and is not my responsibility regardless of the fact that it technically travels/resides on my property (easement)

My natural gas main is slightly different as the line (travelling underground through my property) to the meter and the meter (mounted along side my foundation) are considered the utility source (easement). The Meter outgoing line into my house is then a part of my property.
