Lead service lines in Princeville, HI

Princeville's public water system serves about 6,911 people. The utility has not reported any known lead service lines connecting homes to the main water pipes.

What you're looking at

A lead service line is the pipe that runs from the water main under the street to your home. If your home was built before 1986—when lead solder was still legal in plumbing—your service line may contain lead, even if the utility hasn't identified it yet. Lead can leach into drinking water, especially if water sits in pipes overnight or if the water is acidic.

Princeville's single water system (Princeville) has not documented lead service lines in its inventory. However, "not documented" does not necessarily mean "not present." Many older water systems across the country are still completing their lead surveys.

Why this matters

The EPA and CDC recommend testing your water if your home was built before 1986, or if you have young children or pregnant household members. Lead exposure in children can affect learning and behavior, even at low levels.

What Princeville's utility is doing

Hawaii water systems are required to inventory their lead service lines and share results publicly. Princeville's utility reports zero known lead lines in its current inventory. You can ask your utility directly whether your specific address has been tested or surveyed.

How to find out about your home

Your home's service line material isn't usually visible—it's buried underground. The best way to learn what's there:

1. Ask your water utility. Contact Princeville Water Department and ask whether your address has a lead service line inventory record. 2. Check your home's age. Homes built before 1986 are higher risk. 3. Get your water tested. A simple lab test costs $20–$50 and shows whether lead is present in your tap water right now. This is the only way to know for certain if lead is reaching your home.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact Princeville Water Department (PWSID: HI0000428) and ask for your service line status.
  • If your home was built before 1986, consider a water test through your local health department or a certified lab.
  • If you're pregnant or have young children, talk to your pediatrician about testing—don't wait.
  • Visit CDC's lead in water page for health guidance.
