Private wells are the sole responsibility of the property owner. If you have (pay for) water from the city/town and their water stops flowing that is a different issue all together.

I know that at least with the towns septic service, you are responsible for any issues that arise from the town owned septic pipes to your home. So if the pipe bursts 50 feet onto your property, you are responsible. I would imagine water is the same. There is insurance available to cover such an issue but I am not sure it is worth the money. I have never been in a situation where I needed to research it.
