What We Know About Lead Service Lines
This water system has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory, or the results are not yet available in our database. This does not mean there are no lead service lines in the system—it means the utility either hasn't finished testing and documentation, or hasn't published the data yet.
Federal law requires all water utilities to identify lead service lines and share that information with the public by specific deadlines. If your utility hasn't published an inventory yet, you have the right to ask them about it.
What You Can Do Now
Contact your water utility directly. They can tell you:
- Whether a lead service line inventory is underway
- What the timeline is for completion and public release
- Whether your specific address has been tested or flagged
Your utility's contact information should be on your water bill or available through your local public works department.
Request your water quality report. Every utility publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) that includes lead testing results from the distribution system and homes. This report may give you clues about lead risk in your area.
Test your water if you're concerned. A simple test kit (under $50) can measure lead at your tap. If levels are high, flushing the line before drinking or using a filter pitcher are temporary steps; the permanent fix is replacing the service line itself—a job for licensed plumbers.
About Lead and Health
Lead in drinking water is a real health concern, especially for young children and pregnant people. Even low levels of exposure can affect development and learning. The CDC has detailed guidance on reducing lead exposure at home.
If you have specific health concerns about lead exposure, talk to your doctor or pediatrician—they can advise based on your situation.
