POST FALLS CITY OF Lead Service Line Inventory
POST FALLS CITY OF serves about 20,285 people in Idaho. Like all U.S. water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and report on lead service lines—the pipes that connect homes to the public water main.
What we know about lead lines in POST FALLS CITY OF
This water system has not yet completed a public inventory of its lead service lines. No data on confirmed lead lines, galvanized pipes, or non-lead pipes has been published.
This doesn't mean your home has or doesn't have a lead service line. It means the utility is still in the process of gathering this information.
Why this matters
Lead service lines can leach lead into drinking water, especially in homes with acidic water or older plumbing. Even small amounts of lead exposure can affect children's development. If you have young children or are pregnant, this is worth understanding.
The good news: Lead in drinking water is preventable. Knowing whether you have a lead line is the first step.

Frequently asked
Does POST FALLS CITY OF have lead in the water?
The utility has not yet published a lead service line inventory, so it's unclear how many lead lines exist in the system. Lead is found in the pipes themselves, not added to water at the treatment plant. Contact the utility directly to find out if your specific home has a lead service line.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Contact POST FALLS CITY OF water department with your address. They may have records of your service line material. You can also hire a plumber to inspect it, or use a magnet test (lead is not magnetic, but the covering often is).
Is it safe to drink tap water in POST FALLS CITY OF?
POST FALLS CITY OF treats water to meet federal safety standards. However, if you have a lead service line or old lead pipes inside your home, water can pick up lead between the treatment plant and your tap. A certified water filter can reduce lead if this is a concern.
When will POST FALLS CITY OF replace lead service lines?
The utility has not yet published a replacement plan. Contact them to ask about their timeline and whether they offer assistance for homeowners who want to replace their lines sooner.
