Lead Service Lines in Peoria, AZ

Peoria serves about 195,685 residents through 7 water systems. If you're concerned about lead in your home's water pipes, this page explains what we know—and what you should do next.

What we know about lead pipes in Peoria

Lead service lines (the pipes connecting water mains to homes) are a real concern in older communities across the US. In Peoria, the major water systems—including Peoria City of (serving 187,676 people), Sunrise Water Company (6,490 people), and smaller systems like West End Water Company – Wittman (1,200 people)—have not yet reported confirmed lead service line counts to the EPA's national database.

This doesn't mean there's no lead in Peoria's water system. It means the inventory work is either incomplete or not yet publicly available. Most Arizona communities are still building these inventories, which are required under federal Safe Drinking Water Act rules.

Why this matters

Lead pipes can leach lead into drinking water, especially in homes with corrosive water or older plumbing. Exposure is particularly concerning for young children and pregnant people. Even small amounts can affect child development.

However, the presence of a lead service line doesn't automatically mean your water is unsafe. Water chemistry, age of the line, and treatment all play a role.

Getting your home tested

The most direct way to know if your water contains lead is to get it tested. Your water utility can tell you:

  • Whether your home has a known lead service line
  • Whether you're in a high-risk area
  • How to arrange a free or low-cost water test

Contact your local utility directly—they have the records and can often provide testing kits or referrals.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility to ask if your address has a lead service line on record and request a free water test if available.
  • If you have young children or are pregnant, consider getting your water tested even if you're unsure about your pipes.
  • Check the EPA's water system information at Water Data for Communities using your ZIP code.
  • For health concerns, speak with your pediatrician or contact the CDC's lead hotline.
