EAST GREENACRES IRRIGATION DIST Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
EAST GREENACRES IRRIGATION DIST serves approximately 11,165 people in Idaho. The system draws from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This water system has not yet completed a public inventory of lead service lines (LSLs). As of now, no data on the number of lead, galvanized, or non-lead pipes has been published or made available through this directory.
Federal law requires all community water systems to identify and inventory lead service lines by October 2024. If your system has not yet released this information, it may still be in progress. Inventories can take time to complete, especially for larger systems, because identifying pipes requires records review and sometimes physical inspection.
Why This Matters
Lead service lines are pipes that carry water from the main water line in the street to your home. If present, they can leach lead into your drinking water—especially in homes with naturally acidic water, newer plumbing, or after periods of stagnation. Even small amounts of lead can pose health risks, particularly for children and pregnant people.
An inventory is the first step. Once a system knows how many LSLs exist, it can prioritize replacement and inform residents about testing and temporary protective steps.
What You Can Do Now
Contact your water utility directly. Ask:
- Do they have a lead service line inventory available yet?
- If yes, does your address appear in it?
- What are their plans and timeline for replacement?
- Do they offer free or discounted water testing?
Test your water if you're concerned. Many health departments and water utilities offer free or low-cost lead testing kits. Results typically come back within 1–2 weeks.
If you have young children or are pregnant, talk to your pediatrician or doctor about lead exposure. The CDC has evidence-based guidance on reducing risk at home.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact EAST GREENACRES IRRIGATION DIST to ask about their lead service line inventory and replacement timeline.
- Request a free water test through your local health department or water utility.
- If lead is detected, use a certified water filter (NSF 53 or 58) until pipes are replaced, and let cold water run for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking.
- Check the EPA's website for current lead and copper rule updates affecting your state.

Frequently asked
Does my water system have lead service lines?
EAST GREENACRES IRRIGATION DIST has not yet published a public inventory. Contact the utility directly to ask whether they have completed their lead service line survey and whether your address is included.
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
Your water utility's inventory is the most reliable source. You can also look at your property records or ask a plumber to inspect. Lead pipes are soft, gray, and leave a silver mark when scraped.
Is lead in water an emergency?
Lead exposure is a serious health concern, especially for children, but it is not an immediate emergency. Get your water tested and speak to your doctor. Flushing lines and using a certified filter can reduce risk while waiting for pipe replacement.
When will my utility replace lead service lines?
Replacement timelines vary widely. Contact your water utility to learn their current plan. Some systems are replacing lines immediately; others have multi-year schedules. Federal funding is now available to speed up replacements.
