Both exist across this part of the state, and the answer often changes street by street rather than town by town. Homes on the older built-up streets tend to be on a public main, while properties further out toward Caroline run their own wells. What you are on decides whether a curb stop exists at all.

Close the main shutoff before anything thaws, because a frozen section that has already split will pour once the ice lets go. Leave a faucet open so pressure has somewhere to escape. Then get a plumber looking at the frozen run rather than warming it blind.

Most water departments do not want homeowners in the curb box, since the valve needs a long key and turning it wrong can damage the utility side. Calling the department is the right move for a planned shutoff. In a genuine emergency, get the water stopped and sort out the paperwork after.

The property owner is responsible for the lateral from the house out to the main in nearly every community around here, including the section under the road in some of them. That means root intrusion or a collapsed clay section is a homeowner repair. Village rules vary, so a house in Newark Valley and one in Caroline can face different obligations.
