Hello,

My water company has been sending me stuff warning of
the horrors I would experience if the water or sewer
lines from the curb to my house were to fail, and
urging me to subscribe to their protection program
(for about $14 per month).

Does anyone know if these plans are ever useful in
practice?  Or are they crippled by exclusions,
deductibles, etc?

I guess their potential value would depend on the
likelihood of having problems with the lines.  My
house was built in the mid '70's, and is about 120
feet from the curb, with a bunch of decent-size trees
between the house and the curb.  I have lived here
only three years, and have had no trouble with roots,
etc. What is the typical life expectancy of a sewer
line, anyway?

Thanks,

Doug
