Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of our last update, this utility has not yet submitted a completed lead service line (LSL) inventory to the state. This means the public record does not yet show:
- How many lead service lines are in the system
- How many galvanized lines (which may contain lead) exist
- How many lines are confirmed lead-free
- A timeline for replacing lead lines
Federal law requires all water systems to complete and submit an inventory by October 2024. If your utility has not published results yet, they are still in the process of locating and documenting lines.
What You Can Do Now
Contact your utility directly. INDIANA AMERICAN WATER - KOKOMO is required to provide you with information about whether your specific property has a lead service line—even before the full inventory is public. Call their customer service line or visit their website to:
- Ask whether your address has a lead service line
- Request a free water test (many utilities offer this)

Get your water tested independently. If you're concerned about lead in your tap water, you can hire a certified lab to test for you. This gives you immediate information regardless of the inventory status.
If you have young children or are pregnant, talk to your pediatrician or OB-GYN about lead exposure risk. The CDC offers guidance on lead and health.

Frequently asked
Does my water have lead in it?
We don't have a test result for your water, but you can get one. Contact INDIANA AMERICAN WATER - KOKOMO to request a free test, or hire a certified lab to test your tap water. Lead in water depends on your service line material and your home's plumbing.

Call INDIANA AMERICAN WATER - KOKOMO and ask them about your address. They are required by law to tell you if your line is lead, galvanized, or unknown. You can also ask for a free test if available.
