RIVERTON CITY WATER SYSTEM Lead Service Line Inventory
What you need to know
Riverton City Water System serves about 45,600 people in Utah. The utility draws water from surface sources (rivers or reservoirs).
As of now, the water system has not published a lead service line inventory. This means the utility either hasn't completed its survey of which pipes are lead, or the results aren't yet available to the public. Both scenarios are common—many utilities are still working through this process.
Why this matters
Lead service lines are pipes that carry water from the main water line under the street into your home. If your home was built before the 1980s, there's a meaningful chance your service line contains lead. Drinking or cooking with water from a lead service line can expose you and your family to lead, which is a health concern especially for young children and pregnant people.
The good news: you don't have to wait for your utility to finish its inventory to take action.
What you can do right now
Test your water. Contact Riverton City Water System and ask for a free or low-cost lead test kit. Most utilities offer these. Testing takes a few minutes and costs little to nothing.
Ask your utility directly. Call or email Riverton City Water System and ask:
- Whether your specific address is served by a lead service line
- When they expect to publish their full inventory
- What assistance programs they offer for pipe replacement
Know your home's age. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead service lines. If you're renting, ask your landlord or property manager.
Reduce exposure while you investigate. Run cold water for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking. Use cold water for drinking and cooking (hot water dissolves lead faster). If you have young children, discuss testing with your pediatrician.
Tracking progress

Frequently asked
Does Riverton City Water System have lead in its water?
The utility hasn't yet published its lead service line inventory, so a complete picture isn't available. Lead risk depends on whether *your specific property* has a lead service line—not the entire system. Contact the utility to ask about your address, or request a free lead test.
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
The best way is to ask Riverton City Water System directly with your address. You can also have your water tested for lead. Homes built before the 1980s are at higher risk, but age alone doesn't determine whether your line contains lead.
Is it safe to drink the water from Riverton City Water System?
The utility treats and monitors its water supply. However, lead risk comes from pipes *on your property*, not the main system. If you're concerned, request a water test or have your service line inspected. For health concerns, talk to your doctor or the CDC.
Can Riverton City Water System replace my lead service line?
Some utilities offer replacement programs or cost-sharing. Contact Riverton City Water System to ask about programs available to residents. Federal funding is now available to help with replacements in many areas.
