Lead Service Lines in Cedar Hills Town Water System
Cedar Hills Town Water System serves approximately 10,015 people in Utah. The utility draws its water from groundwater sources.
What we know about lead service lines here
As of now, Cedar Hills Town Water System has not completed a full inventory of lead service lines in its distribution system. This means the utility has not yet publicly reported how many lead service lines exist in the area or provided details about replacement timelines.
Lead service lines are pipes made of lead that connect the water main (the large pipe under the street) to individual homes. When water sits in these pipes overnight or for several hours, lead can leach into your drinking water. This is a known health concern, especially for young children and pregnant people.
Why inventory matters
Federal regulations now require all water utilities to identify and plan for replacing lead service lines. An inventory is the first step—it tells residents which neighborhoods are affected and helps utilities plan replacement work and funding.
If your utility hasn't finished its inventory, it's working on one. You can contact them to ask about the timeline and whether your address has been checked yet.
What you can do right now
Even without a complete inventory, you can take simple steps to reduce lead exposure:
- Use cold water for drinking and cooking. Hot water dissolves lead faster than cold water.
- Run the tap for 30 seconds before using water after it's been sitting (overnight, several hours away from home).
- Ask your utility directly. Contact Cedar Hills Town Water System and ask whether your service line has been identified as lead, non-lead, or unknown.
If you have young children or are pregnant, the CDC recommends having your water tested. A pediatrician or your local health department can guide you on testing and risk.
Next steps for residents
- Contact your water utility to ask about the status of lead service line inventory in your area and at your address.
- Use cold tap water for drinking and cooking until you know your service line material.
- Run the tap briefly before drinking or cooking with water that's been sitting.
- Consult your pediatrician or the CDC if you have health concerns about lead exposure.
