AMERICAN FORK CITY Lead Service Line Inventory
American Fork City serves about 39,045 residents in Utah. Like all U.S. water systems, it is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect homes to the water main—and to share that information with the public.
What we know about American Fork City's lead service lines
American Fork City draws its water from groundwater sources. The utility has not yet completed a public inventory of lead service lines in its system, or the results are not yet available through this directory.
This doesn't mean there's no lead in the system. Lead service lines were commonly installed across the country before they were restricted in 1986, and older neighborhoods in any community may have them. An incomplete inventory simply means the mapping work is still underway—a process that can take years for larger systems.
Why this matters
Lead can leach into drinking water when it sits in lead pipes or lead-containing materials. Children under 6 and pregnant people are most at risk from lead exposure. Even low levels can affect development and learning. The only way to know your home's risk is to find out whether your service line contains lead.
What American Fork City is doing
All water systems are required under federal law to develop and maintain a lead service line inventory. Many utilities are working through this process now, often with support from infrastructure funding. You can contact American Fork City directly to ask about the status of their inventory and their timeline for completion.
Next steps for residents
- Contact your water utility: Call or email American Fork City to ask if your address has been inventoried and what the results are. Request a copy of their lead service line inventory status report.
- Test your water: If you're concerned about lead, request a free or low-cost test from your utility or a certified lab. Testing is the only reliable way to know if lead is present at your tap.
- Learn about treatment options: If lead is found, point-of-use filters (like NSF-certified filters) can reduce lead in drinking water. Your utility can recommend certified options.
- Check with your pediatrician: If you have young children, ask your doctor about lead exposure risk and whether blood lead testing is appropriate.
