Lead service lines in Coeur d'Alene, ID

If you're concerned about lead in your home's water pipes, you're not alone—and it's worth checking on. Lead service lines (the pipes that connect your home to the public water main) are the most common source of lead in drinking water. The good news for Coeur d'Alene residents: your water system hasn't reported confirmed lead service lines in their current inventory data.

However, "not reported" doesn't mean "zero"—it often means the data is still being gathered. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires water systems to maintain and share lead service line inventories, but many systems across the US are still completing this work.

What you need to know

The Coeur d'Alene area is served by 54 water systems. The largest is Coeur d'Alene City of, which supplies water to about 54,115 residents. Smaller systems like Huetter Poe ITD, Kootenai County Water District 1, Gem State - Spirit Lake East, and Sagle Valley Water District serve the outlying areas.

None of these systems have reported known lead service lines in their current inventory. That said, inventories are often incomplete, especially in older neighborhoods where records may be missing or unclear. If your home was built before 1986, your service line is more likely to be lead—even if it's not yet in the official count.

How to find out about your home

Your water utility can tell you whether your service line is lead, copper, galvanized steel, or plastic. They may already have this information on file, or they can direct you to how to find out. If your utility hasn't done a full inventory yet, they can at least give you information about your street or neighborhood.

You can also hire a plumber to inspect the line, though this may involve digging. A simpler first step: call your water utility.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility directly and ask about your service line. Use the system name and contact info below.
  • If you have young children or are pregnant, consider getting your water tested for lead. Contact your local health department for a list of certified labs.
  • Read your utility's lead and copper rule report (usually available on their website) for the most current inventory status.
  • If your line is lead or unknown, ask your utility about replacement programs or rebates.
