What we know about lead service lines here
Currently, no lead service lines have been reported in Rogers's inventories. However, this doesn't mean none exist—many water systems across the country are still completing their lead line surveys and inventories, which are required under federal law.
Lead service lines are pipes that carry water from the water main (in the street) to your home. They were commonly installed before the 1980s. If your home was built before 1990, there's a higher chance your connection includes lead components, even if the utility hasn't formally documented it yet.
Why inventory matters
Federal regulations require all water systems to identify and report lead service lines by specific deadlines. Knowing whether you have a lead line helps you take targeted action—whether that's testing your water, installing a filter, or planning a replacement.
Rogers Water Utilities and the smaller systems serving the area are responsible for creating and maintaining these inventories. If you're curious about your specific address, contacting your utility is the fastest way to get an answer.
What to do if you're concerned
Testing is straightforward and inexpensive. A simple water test can show whether lead is present in your tap water. Even if you have a lead service line, proper water treatment and flushing can reduce exposure.
Replacement is a longer-term option. Lead pipe replacement is eligible for funding under some state and federal programs, though availability varies. Your utility can tell you what programs apply to Rogers.
