ST GEORGE CITY WATER SYSTEM Lead Service Line Inventory
ST GEORGE CITY WATER SYSTEM serves 105,240 people in Utah. Like all US water utilities, it is required by law to inventory and publicly report lead service lines—the pipes that connect homes to the main water supply.
What is a lead service line?
A lead service line (LSL) is a pipe made partly or entirely of lead that carries water from the street main into your home. Lead is a toxic metal that can leach into drinking water, especially if water is corrosive or sits in pipes for hours. Lead exposure has no safe level, particularly for children and pregnant people.
What does ST GEORGE CITY WATER SYSTEM report?
As of now, ST GEORGE CITY WATER SYSTEM has not yet inventoried its service lines or publicly shared those results. This does not mean the system is unsafe—it means the inventory process is ongoing or has not been completed. All US water utilities must complete their lead service line inventories under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
To learn the current status of the inventory and whether your specific address has been surveyed, contact the utility directly. They can tell you:
- Whether your service line has been inspected or tested
- What material your service line is made of
- What next steps apply to your home
How to find out about your own home
Your water utility keeps records of each address. Call or visit their website to ask: 1. Has my service line been inventoried? 2. What material is it made of? 3. If it's lead or unknown, what are my options for testing or replacement?
If your service line is lead or galvanized (an older coating that can contain lead), you can reduce exposure by running water for 30 seconds before drinking it, using cold water for cooking, and having your water tested by a certified lab.
Health questions
If you are concerned about lead exposure—especially for a child under 6 or a pregnant person—speak with your pediatrician or contact your local health department. The CDC has guidance on lead and health.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Contact your water utility and ask if your address has been inventoried and what material your service line is made of. They have records for every connection. If records are unavailable, a plumber can sometimes identify the material by inspection.
Is lead in water dangerous for my kids?
Lead is a neurotoxin that can harm child development even at low levels. Talk to your pediatrician about your child's exposure risk and whether testing is recommended. The CDC has detailed information on lead and children's health.
What should I do if I have a lead service line?
Ask your utility about replacement programs, grants, or low-interest loans. In the meantime, run water for 30 seconds before drinking, use cold water for cooking and baby formula, and consider having your water tested by a certified lab.
Why doesn't my utility's inventory show any results?
Inventories take time to complete. Contact your utility to ask about the timeline and current progress. All US water systems are required to finish inventories and share results publicly.
