Help! Has a water pipe ever burst under your lawn?

[vermicious knid]

SOOOO much water gushed into the front yard and down the sewer last night. It was bubbling up from a spot in the yard between the water meter and the house. It has been shut off now, so there is no more water leaking. I assume this pipe is my responsibility and not the city's, right? Has something like this happened to you? Any advice would be appreciated.
