Lead service lines in Twin Falls, ID
What we know about lead pipes in Twin Falls
Twin Falls serves about 62,000 people across 38 water systems. Based on available inventory data, no confirmed lead service lines have been reported in the area's public water systems.
This is good news—but it comes with an important caveat. Many water systems, including some in Twin Falls, have not yet completed a full inventory of their service lines. "Unknown" doesn't mean "safe"; it means the data isn't finished. Idaho water utilities are required to complete lead service line inventories by October 2024, so more information may become available soon.
The largest water system: Twin Falls City of
The City of Twin Falls serves the majority of the area's population (56,121 people). This is the system most Twin Falls residents rely on. The utility has not yet reported a count of known lead or galvanized service lines in the available data, which suggests their inventory work may still be underway.
You can contact the City of Twin Falls directly to ask whether they've completed their service line inventory and what they've found so far.
Smaller systems serving the area
Five smaller LDS Church water systems also operate in Twin Falls County:
- LDS Church Kimberly SC (659 people)
- LDS Church Murtaugh (451 people)
- LDS Church Pella (437 people)

None of these systems have reported lead service lines in current data.
What you can do about your own home
Your home's service line—the pipe connecting your house to the public main—is typically owned by you if it's on your property. Even if your water system has no known lead, some older homes have lead or galvanized steel service lines installed decades ago.
If your home was built before 1986, the risk is higher. The best way to know your home's status is to have your water tested for lead and to ask your utility whether they have records of your service line material.
