What We Know About Lead Service Lines Here
Cadeville Water District has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory, or the results are not yet available online. This means the utility hasn't published a count of how many homes are connected by lead pipes—or it may still be working through the process.
This is not unusual. Many smaller water systems across the country are still building their inventories. Federal law requires all utilities to complete this work and make findings public, but timelines vary by system size and available funding.
Why This Matters for Your Home
Lead service lines are pipes that connect your home to the water main under the street. If your line contains lead, water can pick up lead as it travels to your tap—especially if water sits in pipes overnight or if water is corrosive (acidic).
The only way to know for certain whether your home has a lead service line is to:
- Ask your water utility directly for your property's connection type
- Have a licensed plumber inspect the line at your property line
- Get a water test from a certified lab (though this won't tell you about the pipe itself)
How to Get Answers
Contact Cadeville Water District directly. Ask them:
- Whether your address has a lead service line
- When they expect to publish their full inventory online
- What testing or replacement programs they offer
If you're concerned about lead in drinking water, the CDC recommends steps like flushing your tap, using cold water for cooking, and considering a certified water filter. For health questions—especially for young children or pregnant people—talk to your doctor or pediatrician.
Next Steps for Residents

- Ask about replacement programs that may help with costs if you do have a lead line
