If the pipe is underground you will need a watermain/sewermain company. I have used Mathew Ruggiero Plumbing(718) 875-1372 several times for varrious lengths of pipe (prices will varry depending how long the main is). Joe Ruggiero now runs the company and has tons of experience with all types of issues.

Highly recommended. I am on Adelphi at Lafayette. Met him because he was working on various things for OLEA restaurant. He solved a tricky gas pipe/dryer problem– located and quickly fixed the broken connection hidden behind a wall with just a couple of small easily-patchable holes– the guy’s brainy, nice (a Minnesotan) with very reasonable prices.
We met Rick Nowak outside Olea (Mediterranean restaurant on corner of Adelphi and Lafayette) where he was doing a large job before the new opening. Since then we’ve used him twice- first for an emergency, and then for a regular maintenance. Both times he did a very thorough job-and he’s a nice guy too! His business card lists the following as his services:
Installations
Service & Repair
Restaurant Equipment/Ovens/Ranges
HVAC
Plumbing
Electrical
Metal Fabrication (welding/brazing/smoldering)
What is the order of magnitude cost for replacing a lead main? DEP also wants to install a meter, so I was thinking to do it at the same time.
