Hydrosion drilling. Had two done that way and only digging was at the curb stop.

My sister had a leak between the meter and the house a few years ago, it was cheaper to pull a new line than find the leak in the old one, especially since she did all the digging and just had the plumber do the install of the new line. 

A friend had a leak 'twixt his well and his house.  the plumber replaced the line there too rather than try to find the leak in the old one.
