Lead service lines in Wailuku, HI
What you need to know
The Wailuku area is served by 21 water systems that collectively provide water to about 143,145 people. Based on available inventory data, no known lead service lines have been identified in these systems.
That said, "no known lead" doesn't automatically mean zero lead pipes exist. It often means utilities either haven't completed a full inventory yet, haven't reported their findings publicly, or the data hasn't been compiled in this database. Lead service lines are most common in older neighborhoods and buildings constructed before 1986, when lead pipes were phased out.

How to find out about your specific home
Your water utility should have records about the service line material connecting their main line to your house. This is the most direct way to know if lead is present.
Contact your local water system directly—they can tell you:
- Whether your address is served by a lead, copper, plastic, or galvanized steel line
- If they've completed an inventory and where to view results
- What testing or replacement programs they offer
Next steps for residents
- Contact your water utility by name (see list above) or visit your city/county water department website to request your service line material information
- If your home was built before 1986, ask your utility about lead testing programs or point-of-use filter options while you investigate further
- For health concerns, consult your pediatrician or the CDC's guidance on lead and children
- Check your utility's water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report), published annually and available online
