Lead Service Lines at JORDAN VALLEY WCD
JORDAN VALLEY WCD serves about 99,335 people in Utah. Like many water systems across the US, it may have lead service lines—pipes that connect homes to the main water line. Lead can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older pipes or corrosive water.
What you need to know about this water system
JORDAN VALLEY WCD has not yet published a public inventory of lead service lines. This doesn't mean there are no lead lines in the system—it means the data either hasn't been compiled, isn't publicly available yet, or is still being gathered.
The federal Lead and Copper Rule, updated in 2024, requires water systems to identify and inventory all lead service lines by specific deadlines. Larger systems like this one have until October 2024 to complete initial inventories. The rule also sets a timeline for replacing lead lines over the next 10 years.
Why an inventory matters
An inventory helps you find out whether your home has a lead service line. If it does, you'll know to take steps to reduce exposure—like running water before use, using cold water for cooking and drinking, and having water tested. Replacement is the only permanent fix.
Your utility should be able to tell you:
- Whether your address is on a lead line
- When replacement might happen in your neighborhood
- Whether any financial assistance is available
Next steps for residents
- Contact JORDAN VALLEY WCD directly to ask if your property has a lead service line and to request a copy of their inventory or records.
- Get your water tested through your health department or a certified lab if you're concerned about lead (test costs vary by location).
- If you have young children or are pregnant, consult your pediatrician or doctor about lead exposure risks specific to your situation.
- Check for federal or state replacement funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is funding lead line replacements nationwide. Your utility can tell you whether your area qualifies.

Frequently asked
Does JORDAN VALLEY WCD have lead service lines?
The system has not published a public inventory yet. Contact the utility directly to ask whether your specific address has a lead service line. Federal rules require water systems to complete inventories by October 2024.
Is my water safe if I have a lead service line?
Lead lines *can* release lead into water, but not always at unsafe levels. The only way to know is to test your water. In the meantime, run water for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking, use cold water for cooking, and consider installing a lead-removal filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53.
How much does it cost to replace a lead service line?
Replacement typically costs $3,000–$10,000 per home, but varies by location and pipe depth. Federal infrastructure funding and some state programs now cover partial or full costs. Contact JORDAN VALLEY WCD about funding options in your area.
What should I do if I'm worried about lead in my water?
Test your water through a certified lab or your local health department. Ask your utility about their lead line inventory and replacement timeline. If you have young children, talk to your pediatrician about lead exposure prevention.
