Lead service line inventory status
This water system has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory. No data on lead, galvanized, or unknown service lines is currently available.
Federal law requires all water systems to assess and document lead service lines by specific deadlines. If your system has not yet published an inventory, they are still in the process of conducting this assessment.
What this means for you
If you live in the KENNEBUNK, KENNEBUNKPORT & WELLS WD service area, your home may or may not have a lead service line — the connection running from the main water pipe under the street to your house. The only way to know for certain is to:
- Contact your water utility directly and ask whether your address has a lead service line on file
- Request a line inspection if records are unclear
- Have your water tested through your local health department or a certified lab
Lead can enter drinking water when service lines corrode. Even homes with lead service lines can reduce exposure through flushing and using filters, but replacement is the permanent solution.
Next steps for residents
- Contact the water utility at your next bill or online to ask about your service line status
- Request your property's service line records — the utility should have this information on file
- Get your water tested if you're concerned; your local health department can provide guidance on certified testing labs
- Talk to your pediatrician if you have young children and suspect potential lead exposure — they can order a lead blood test if appropriate
