WEST JORDAN CITY WATER SYSTEM Lead Service Line Inventory
West Jordan City Water System serves approximately 117,025 people in Utah. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and report on lead service lines—the pipes that may connect homes to the main water line underground.
What we know about lead pipes in West Jordan
We don't yet have detailed information about lead service lines in this system. The inventory data—including how many lead lines exist, how many are in good condition, and replacement timelines—has not been publicly reported or made available through our database.
This does not mean there is no lead in the system. Lead service lines are common in many US water systems built before the 1980s. Only a water utility inventory can tell you whether your home is at risk.
What you should do
Contact West Jordan City Water System directly. Ask:
- Does my address have a lead service line?
- If yes, what are the health risks and replacement options?
- Are there any funding programs to help with replacement?
The utility is required to maintain this information and provide it to you upon request. If you can't reach them or don't get answers, you can also contact the Utah Division of Drinking Water.
If your home has a lead service line
Even with a lead line present, your water may still be safe if the utility maintains proper water chemistry (pH and corrosion control). But the safest approach is replacement or isolation of the lead line itself.
Do not wait if you have young children or a pregnant household member. Lead exposure at early ages carries documented health risks. Contact your pediatrician or the CDC for guidance on testing and precautions.
