I used to work for a company that did alot of the work you need done and around here the city is only responsable for the water main,and the meter only, the service tap and the service line all the way to the water meter and past is your responsability. I used to be the one who ran the backhoe and I hated it but had to tear up peoples landscaping, it was either that or go without water. We did not replace the landscaping or sidewalks either. although if I could I would dig under sidewalks to try to save them. Sorry for the bad news but I think you are stuck for the exspense.
