INDIAN HILLS GID Lead Service Line Inventory
INDIAN HILLS GID serves about 5,962 people in Nevada. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to inventory and report on lead service lines—the pipes that may connect your home to the water main under the street.
What we know about lead pipes in your area
INDIAN HILLS GID has not yet reported a lead service line inventory to the public. This does not mean there are no lead pipes in the system; it means the inventory process is still underway, or the data has not been made available yet.
Lead service lines are most commonly found in homes built before 1986. If your home was built around that time or earlier, there is a higher chance your connection contains lead, even if the main pipes do not.
Why this matters
Lead in drinking water comes primarily from corrosion of lead service lines and lead-containing plumbing fixtures. Even at low levels, lead exposure can affect children's development and learning. The CDC recommends testing your water if you are concerned about lead, especially if you have young children or are pregnant.
What you can do now
Contact INDIAN HILLS GID directly to ask:
- Whether your property has a lead service line
- If an inventory exists and when it will be public
- What water testing options are available to you
You can also take immediate steps to reduce risk: run cold water for 30 seconds before using it for drinking or cooking, use cold water for baby formula and cooking, and consider a point-of-use filter certified for lead removal if testing shows lead is present.
Federal lead service line replacement program
The Biden administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated significant funding to help water systems replace lead service lines nationwide. Check with INDIAN HILLS GID about whether replacement funding is available for your home.

Frequently asked
Does INDIAN HILLS GID have lead pipes?
INDIAN HILLS GID has not yet released a public lead service line inventory. Contact the utility directly to ask whether lead pipes are present in your area and when results will be available.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Ask your water utility for records of your property's service line material. You can also have a plumber inspect the pipe where it enters your home, though a visual check is not always reliable. Water testing can confirm whether lead is present in your tap water.
Is lead in water dangerous?
Lead can affect children's brain development and learning at any detectable level. If you have concerns about lead exposure, speak with your pediatrician or visit the CDC website for health guidance.
Can I get my lead service line replaced for free?
The federal government is funding lead pipe replacement in many areas. Contact INDIAN HILLS GID to ask whether you qualify for assistance and what the process is in your system.
