SANITARY DISTRICT #4 Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
SANITARY DISTRICT #4 serves 8,575 people in Ohio. The system draws from surface water sources. This page shows what's publicly known about lead service lines (LSLs)—pipes that may carry lead from the water main into your home.
What We Know About Lead Service Lines Here
This water system has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory, or the results are not yet available online. That means there's no confirmed count of how many lead service lines exist in this service area.
This doesn't mean there are no lead service lines—many older water systems in Ohio have them. It means the utility either hasn't finished the required inventory process, or hasn't published the findings yet.
What You Should Do Now
Contact your water utility directly. Call SANITARY DISTRICT #4 and ask:
- Do you have a lead service line inventory? If yes, how do I find out if my address is on it?
- What's your timeline for completing the inventory?
- Do you have information about which neighborhoods or streets are most likely to have lead lines?
Get your water tested. Even if your utility doesn't confirm a lead line at your address, free or low-cost testing is available. Lead is tasteless and odorless—testing is the only way to know if it's in your water right now. Ask your utility about free testing programs, or contact your county health department.
If you have young children or are pregnant, the CDC recommends not waiting for a complete inventory. Lead exposure during pregnancy and early childhood can affect development. Consider interim steps like using a certified lead filter or running cold water before drinking.
Funding for Replacement
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated billions to help replace lead service lines nationwide. Check whether SANITARY DISTRICT #4 has applied for or received funding—your utility can tell you about any replacement programs or cost-sharing offers available to residents.

Next steps for residents
- Contact SANITARY DISTRICT #4 to ask about their lead service line inventory status and any testing programs they offer.
- Request a free water test from your utility or local health department to check for lead at your tap.
- Learn your address history — if you moved into your home in the last 5+ years, the previous owner or utility may have records about the service line material.
- Check for visible signs — if you can access the water line where it enters your home, copper lines are not a lead concern; galvanized steel is older and may have been lead-based.

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have a lead service line?
Your water utility's inventory is the most reliable source. You can also request a water test from your utility or health department—testing your tap water shows whether lead is actually reaching your home right now, regardless of what the pipe is made of.
Is lead in drinking water dangerous?
Lead has no safe level of exposure. It's especially harmful to young children and pregnant people. For health concerns, consult your pediatrician or the CDC's lead safety guidance.
Can I get my lead service line replaced?
Yes, but it's usually expensive. Many utilities now offer cost-sharing or replacement programs through federal funding. Contact SANITARY DISTRICT #4 to ask what's available in your area.
What should I do while waiting for my utility's inventory?
Get your water tested now—it takes the guesswork out of whether lead is in your tap water. You can also ask your utility whether your street or neighborhood is known to have lead lines.
