Who looks after the valve at the meter?
The valves on both sides of the meter, and everything after it, are yours; the meter is OCWA's.

Faucets, Fixtures and Valves in East Syracuse
In East Syracuse every valve and fixture in the house is yours. OCWA's service-line statement has the customer's responsibility start at the property-line valve and run through the meter or main shutoff to all interior plumbing and fixtures, and its other statement says it owns only the meter.
This matters in a village where the median house is from 1938. Original stops and fill valves in a house like that may be due for replacement, and a stuck main shutoff turns even a cartridge swap into a bigger job. Ask the contractor to test every shutoff on the visit and quote replacements for any that fail.
The paperwork is light for like-for-like work. County Plumbing Control says a faucet, flush valve, supply tube, fixture stop or toilet fill mechanism can be repaired or replaced in kind without a permit. Adding or relocating plumbing is different. EPA also notes that fixtures made of brass, or chrome-plated brass, are the usual lead problem in houses without a lead line, so with 89.8 percent of the village built before 1980, ask about lead-free replacements.
