Had a broken water main

Here in Southern Indiana, specs suggest 24". As for your water line, its called a lateral. It should be lying on a bed of sand and should be covered with a layer of sand. Our municipality, when repairing mains, dig out all the dirt/soil and refill with sand around the main, and then rock.

Here is a link to the "10 state standard" that contractors should use.
