Lead service lines in West Jordan, UT
West Jordan serves about 255,000 residents across 7 different water systems. The good news: no lead service lines have been identified in the city's water systems so far. However, that doesn't mean your home is automatically safe—it means the data collection is still underway.
What we know about West Jordan's water pipes
Utah requires water utilities to inventory their service lines (the pipes connecting the main water line to your home) and identify which ones contain lead. West Jordan's largest systems—West Jordan City Water System (serving 117,000 people) and Jordan Valley WCD (serving 99,000 people)—have not yet reported confirmed lead service lines to state regulators.
Important: "No reported lead" does not equal "no lead." Many utilities are still in the early stages of inventorying their pipes. Some older homes might have lead service lines that haven't been documented yet.
How to find out about your home
Your water service line material depends on when your home was built and which utility serves you. If your home was constructed before 1950, there's a higher chance of lead pipes or galvanized pipes (which can corrode and leach lead).
Contact your water utility directly with your address to ask:
- What material is your service line made of?
- Has your line been inspected or tested?
- Do they have a lead service line replacement program?
The three largest utilities serving West Jordan are:
- West Jordan City Water System
- Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District
- Murray City Water System
Testing your water
Even with a lead service line, your water might be safe if your utility adds corrosion control treatment. The only way to know is to test. Contact your utility for free or low-cost testing kits, or ask about their lead and copper testing results (they're required to report these annually).
Next steps for residents
- Identify your water utility by searching your address on your water bill or contacting West Jordan City.
- Ask your utility directly about your service line material and any known lead issues.
- Request a free water test for lead if you're concerned about your home's age or pipe condition.
- Check the CDC website if anyone in your household is pregnant or under 6 years old—they're at highest risk from lead exposure.
