EPCOR - SUN CITY WEST Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
EPCOR - SUN CITY WEST serves 25,796 people in Arizona. The system draws water from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Status
As of now, this water system has not completed a public lead service line inventory. That means there is no official count yet of how many homes may be connected by lead pipes.
Federal law (the Lead and Copper Rule) requires all water systems to locate and identify lead service lines. EPCOR - SUN CITY WEST is required to complete this work and make the results available to the public.
What You Can Do Now
If you're concerned about lead in your home's water:
- Contact your utility. Ask EPCOR - SUN CITY WEST directly whether your address has a known lead service line, and when you can expect the full inventory results.
- Get your water tested. A simple test (usually free or low-cost through your local health department) can measure lead levels in your tap water right now. This is the most direct way to know if lead is reaching your home.
- Check your home's age and records. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes or solder. If you have old plumbing documents, they may give you clues.
- Use a filter certified for lead removal (NSF/ANSI Standard 53) on your drinking and cooking water while you wait for answers—this is a practical interim step.

Lead exposure, especially for young children and pregnant people, can cause serious health effects. If you have health concerns, talk to your doctor or call the CDC's National Lead Poisoning Prevention Program at 1-844-4LEAD411 (1-844-425-3241).
