INDIAN HILL CITY PWS Lead Service Line Inventory
Indian Hill City PWS serves approximately 15,000 people in Ohio. Like all US water utilities, it is required by the EPA to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to homes and buildings.
What we know about lead service lines in this system
As of now, this utility has not yet completed a public inventory of its lead service lines. This does not mean there are no lead pipes; it means the count and location data are either still being gathered, not yet posted online, or not available through this directory.
The EPA requires all water systems to identify lead service lines and develop plans to replace them by 2027. Utilities typically discover lead lines through:
- Visual inspection of existing records and pipe materials
- Door-to-door surveys asking homeowners about their plumbing
- Water testing that reveals lead levels
- Excavation and direct inspection during repairs
What you can do right now
Contact Indian Hill City PWS directly to ask:
- Does my property have a lead service line?
- Where can I find the utility's lead inventory or replacement plan?
- What testing or inspection options are available for my home?
- Are there any rebates or assistance programs for line replacement?
The utility's contact information should be on your water bill or available by calling the city.
Test your water at home. Even if you have a lead line, proper use of your plumbing (flushing before use, using cold water for drinking) can reduce exposure. A simple water test costs $20–50 and will tell you if lead is actually entering your home.
If you have young children or are pregnant, the CDC recommends contacting your pediatrician or local health department about whether testing is right for your situation.
