MOUNTAIN GREEN MUTUAL WATER COMPANY Lead Service Line Inventory
MOUNTAIN GREEN MUTUAL WATER COMPANY serves about 3,500 people in Utah and uses groundwater as its primary source. Like all public water systems in the US, it is required by the EPA to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect the main water line under the street to individual homes.
What we know about lead service lines at this utility
This utility has not yet published a lead service line inventory that is accessible to the public through LeadPipeLookup. That means either the inventory is still being completed, or it hasn't been made available online yet.
Lead service lines are a real concern because lead can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older plumbing. However, not all homes served by this utility necessarily have lead service lines. The presence of lead pipes depends on when your home was built and how it was originally connected.
How to find out if your home has a lead service line
Your best step is to contact MOUNTAIN GREEN MUTUAL WATER COMPANY directly and ask about your property's service line. They are legally required to know whether your connection contains lead or not. When you call, have your address ready. They may be able to tell you immediately, or they may send someone to inspect the connection where it enters your home (usually near the foundation or basement).
You can also inspect the pipe yourself if it's visible. Lead is soft and gray. A magnet won't stick to lead, but it will stick to steel. If you're unsure, a plumber can identify the material quickly and affordably.
If you have a lead service line
Drinking water from lead pipes poses real health risks, especially for children and pregnant people. Flushing the line before use helps, but it's not a complete solution. The permanent fix is replacement. Some utilities offer assistance programs or rebates. Ask your water company about available options and timelines.
For specific health guidance, consult the CDC or your pediatrician.
Next steps for residents
- Call your water utility to ask if your service line contains lead, and request your inspection records.
- Check if you're eligible for any lead line replacement programs or financial assistance.
- If you have young children or are pregnant, discuss water safety with your doctor.
- Consider a point-of-use filter (like a faucet filter) rated for lead as a temporary measure while you work on line replacement.
