CENTRAL WELD CNTY WD Lead Service Line Inventory
CENTRAL WELD CNTY WD serves approximately 7,662 people in Colorado. Like all public water systems in the US, it is required to identify and report lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main in the street to homes and buildings.
What we know about lead pipes in your area
As of now, CENTRAL WELD CNTY WD has not yet completed a full inventory of lead service lines in its system. This does not mean there are no lead pipes—it means the survey work is still underway or not yet publicly reported.
The Safe Drinking Water Act requires all water utilities to locate and document lead service lines by specific deadlines. Utilities receive federal funding to help pay for this work. Check with your water utility directly to learn:
- How many lead service lines have been found so far
- When the full inventory will be completed
- Whether your address has been surveyed
- What help is available if you have a lead service line
Why this matters
Lead service lines are the single largest source of lead in drinking water for most homes. If your home was built before the 1980s, there is a higher chance your service line contains lead, though age alone is not certain.
Lead exposure carries real health risks, especially for young children and pregnant women. Testing your water is the only way to know whether lead is present in your home. The CDC and EPA both recommend this.
Next steps for residents
- Contact CENTRAL WELD CNTY WD directly to ask about your property's service line status and request a free or low-cost water test
- Request a lead service line replacement if you know or suspect you have one; many states and utilities now offer funding for this work
- Have your water tested by a certified lab if you are concerned about lead exposure
- Talk to your pediatrician or doctor if you have health questions about lead and drinking water
