Lead Service Lines at TRIHEALTH GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL
TRIHEALTH GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL serves approximately 4,000 people in Ohio through a surface water system. Like all US water utilities, this system is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect the main water line under the street to individual buildings.
What we know about this system's lead pipes
The hospital has not yet completed or publicly shared a lead service line inventory. This doesn't mean lead pipes are present—it means the status is unknown. Many water systems nationwide are still working through this requirement, which became mandatory under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions in 2021.
Without a completed inventory, there's no public data on how many lead service lines may exist in this system's service area.
How to find out if your building is affected
If your home or business receives water from TRIHEALTH GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL, the best way to learn whether you have a lead service line is to contact the utility directly. They can:
- Tell you whether an inventory exists and when it will be public
- Discuss your building's specific service line material if records are available
- Explain any testing or replacement programs they offer
You can also request a water quality report (called a Consumer Confidence Report), which may contain information about lead pipes and water testing.
What if I'm concerned about lead in my water?
Even if you have a lead service line, the amount of lead in your water depends on several factors, including how long water sits in the pipes and your water's chemistry. Testing is the only way to know.
Contact your pediatrician or the CDC if you have health concerns about lead exposure.
