What We Know About Lead Service Lines Here
This water system has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory, or the inventory data is not yet available in our database. This doesn't mean there are no lead service lines—it means the utility either hasn't finished the required testing and documentation, or hasn't published the results yet.
Federal law requires all US water utilities to locate and catalog lead service lines by October 2024. Many systems are still working through this process. An incomplete or unpublished inventory is common, especially for smaller utilities.
What This Means for Your Home
A lead service line is the pipe that connects your house to the water main under the street. If your home was built before 1986—when lead pipes were still legal—there's a higher chance your service line contains lead.
The only way to know for certain is testing. You can:
- Ask your water utility directly whether your address has a known lead service line. They may have partial data even if the full inventory isn't published yet.
- Get your water tested through an EPA-certified lab. A simple test costs $20–$40 and shows whether lead is present in your tap water right now.
- Check your home's age and construction records. Homes built after 1986 are much less likely to have lead service lines, but it's not guaranteed.
If lead is detected in your water, flushing the tap before drinking and using a certified filter are temporary steps. Long-term, the service line itself may need replacement—your utility can advise on options and costs.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact your water utility to ask whether your address is on a lead service line or if partial inventory data exists.
- Get your water tested by an EPA-certified lab if you're concerned about lead.
- Check the CDC website for guidance on reducing lead exposure at home.
- Ask your utility about replacement programs, which may offer financial assistance depending on your state and income.
