Yes, PVC can be used for main supply unless local code prohibits. If this is just one length of a longer line that has developed a leak, you should replace the entire line. It won't be long before other leaks will develop in other places.

Get with the times, Tom -- Most Plumbers nowadays recognize CPVC for the inferior product that it is and use PEX from meter to fixture.
