WILLOWBROOK WSD Lead Service Line Inventory

Willowbrook Water and Sanitation District serves about 9,300 people in Colorado. Like all US water systems, it is required to identify and publicly report on lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to individual homes.

What We Know About WILLOWBROOK WSD

Willowbrook WSD pulls water from surface sources (rivers, reservoirs, or lakes). The district has not yet completed a full inventory of lead service lines in its system.

As of now, no inventory data has been published by this utility. This means we don't have counts of how many lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines serve the district's customers.

Why This Matters

Lead service lines are a direct pathway for lead to enter drinking water, especially in older homes. Even "low" levels of lead exposure carry health risks—particularly for children under age 6 and pregnant people. If your home was built before 1986, your service line is more likely to contain lead.

The good news: lead is 100% removable through water treatment, flushing, or service line replacement. But first, you need to know whether your home has one.

What Willowbrook WSD Must Do

Federal law requires all water systems to create and maintain an inventory of lead and galvanized service lines. Willowbrook WSD should have this information available—whether in a published report, a map, or by request. The utility may also have received federal funding to support testing and replacement work, though we have no record of that funding yet.

How to Find Out About Your Home

Contact Willowbrook WSD directly. Ask:

• Whether your service line has been identified or tested for lead
• If an inventory exists and how to access it
• Whether you can request a free or low-cost test of water at your tap
• What replacement or treatment programs are available

If you're concerned about your child's health or your own exposure, contact your pediatrician or the CDC's lead information line.

Next Steps for Residents

• Contact the utility to ask for your service line status or to request a tap water test.
• If your home was built before 1986, assume your service line may contain lead until proven otherwise.
• Use cold water for drinking and cooking, and let water run for 30 seconds after turning on the tap if pipes haven't been used for 6+ hours.
• Visit the CDC's lead pages for detailed guidance on reducing exposure while you wait for testing or replacement.

Homes built before 1986 are at higher risk. You can also hire a plumber to inspect your service line or request a free/low-cost tap water test from the utility." }, { "q": "Is Willowbrook WSD replacing lead service lines?", "a": "We don't have records of a published replacement program or federal funding yet.
