Lead service line inventory status
This water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. As of now, there is no public count of lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines in the system.
Federal law requires all water utilities to inventory their lead service lines and make that information available to customers. The deadline for most systems was October 2024. If your system has not yet published an inventory, they are either still completing it or working under an extension.
What you can do now
Contact your water utility directly to ask:
- Has the inventory been completed? If yes, can they provide a copy or direct you to it?
- What is the expected timeline for publication?
- What is the status of their lead service line replacement plan?
The utility's contact information should be on your water bill or available by searching online for "GW FARMERS WATER CO CONTINENTAL Arizona."
Do not wait for a complete inventory to take action. If your home was built before 1986, or if you know your service line is lead or galvanized steel, consider testing your water and having the line replaced. Lead exposure happens at the tap, and a water filter or line replacement are the most effective ways to reduce it.
Health and testing
If you are concerned about lead exposure—especially if there are children or pregnant people in your home—contact your doctor or the CDC for guidance on testing. Your water utility can also direct you to a certified lab for water testing.

Frequently asked
Does my water system have lead service lines?
GW FARMERS WATER CO - CONTINENTAL has not yet published a lead service line inventory. Contact the utility directly to ask when the inventory will be available, or whether they know if lead lines are present in your area.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
The best way is to call your water utility and ask. You can also have a plumber inspect the line outside your home where it enters the house. Lead is soft and gray, and a magnet will not stick to it. If your home was built before 1986, there is higher risk.
Is lead in water dangerous?
Lead can harm the brain and body, especially in young children and pregnant people. The CDC recommends testing water and taking action if lead is found. Contact your doctor or pediatrician for health concerns.
What can I do to reduce lead in my tap water?
Use a filter certified for lead reduction, or have your service line replaced. Run cold water for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking if the line has been idle. A water test from a certified lab will confirm whether lead is present in your home.
