AVION WC - GREATER AVION Lead Service Line Inventory
AVION WC - GREATER AVION serves about 35,332 people in Oregon. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and track lead service lines—the pipes that connect homes to the main water line underground.
What we know about this water system's lead service lines
This water system has not yet completed a full inventory of its lead service lines. As of now, 0 lines have been inventoried and reported. This does not mean there are no lead service lines; it means the count is still being determined.
The water system draws from groundwater sources.
Why this matters
Lead service lines are one of the largest sources of lead in drinking water. Even small amounts of lead can pose health risks, especially for young children and pregnant people. However, an incomplete inventory does not mean your water is unsafe—many water systems are still working through this process, and it often takes several years to document every service line in a large area.
What's happening next
Water systems across the country are working to complete lead service line inventories under a 2021 EPA rule. AVION WC - GREATER AVION is part of this effort. The timeline varies by system size and local conditions.
How to find out about your home
The most direct way to learn whether your home has a lead service line is to contact the water system directly. You can ask:
- Does my address have a lead service line?
- What is the age and material of the pipe serving my home?
- Do you have a map or database I can check?
Contact information for your utility should be available on their website or through Oregon's public water system listings.
If you're concerned about lead in your water while waiting for a full inventory, you can request a free or low-cost water test from your health department or have your water tested by a certified lab.
