The homeowner owns from the curb stop in, in most places, and the utility owns the main under the road. The curb stop is the small buried valve near the property line, and finding it before an emergency is worth doing.

Usually that water is coming through the wall or the floor joint rather than up under the slab, which the pump can't reach. It can also mean the pit is not the low point of the basement.

It can shift with drainage changes nearby, new construction, or a blocked field tile. What matters for the house is whether the pit is keeping up with it.

Usually the impeller is jammed or the check valve has failed, and the pump is working against a closed line. Cut power to the pump at the breaker and leave it there until someone looks at it.
