About This Water System
SBDNO County Service Area 70J serves approximately 12,843 residents in California. The system uses groundwater as its primary source.
Lead Service Line Status
Inventory progress: This water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. As of our last update, there is no public count of how many lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines exist in the system.
California water systems are required to develop and maintain inventories of lead service lines under state and federal law. An incomplete inventory means your water utility is still in the process of identifying which homes may have lead pipes connecting the main water line to the house.
What This Means for Your Home
If you live in this service area, you likely don't know yet whether your service line contains lead. This is common—many water systems across the country are still mapping their infrastructure.
Immediate steps:
- Contact your water utility directly to ask about your specific address. They may have partial information even if the full inventory isn't public yet.
- If you're concerned about lead in your drinking water, ask the utility for a free or low-cost water test. Many systems offer this to customers.
- In the meantime, running cold water for 30 seconds before using it for drinking or cooking can reduce lead exposure if lead pipes are present.
Finding More Information
Check the utility's website or call their customer service line to ask:
- When they expect to finish the lead service line inventory
- Whether your address has been surveyed yet
- What water testing options are available to you
For health questions about lead exposure, contact your doctor or the CDC's lead prevention hotline.
