What We Know About Lead Service Lines Here
Inventory status: Hastings, City of has not yet reported detailed information about its lead service line inventory to the public database. This means we don't have confirmed counts of lead, galvanized, or unknown service lines in the system.
This is normal. Many utilities across the country are still completing their inventories, which federal law requires by 2024. An incomplete or unreported inventory does not mean your system has no lead lines—it means the data isn't publicly available yet.

1. Contact your utility directly. Call Hastings, City of water department and ask about your specific address. They may have records even if the public inventory isn't finalized. Request any available documentation about the material of your service line.
2. Look at your property records. If you have a copy of your property's plumbing blueprint or a home inspection report, it may note the service line material.
3. Request a copy of the inventory when it's published. Once Hastings, City of releases its complete inventory, you can access it. Ask your utility when to expect it.
