EDWARD FARRAR UTILITY DISTRICT Lead Service Line Inventory
Edward Farrar Utility District serves about 6,000 people in Vermont and draws its water from surface sources. If you're looking for information about lead service lines in your area, here's what you need to know.
What is a lead service line?
A lead service line is the pipe that connects your home to the public water main. Lead pipes were common in older construction and can corrode over time, releasing lead into your drinking water. Lead is a serious health concern, especially for children and pregnant people.
What does this utility's inventory show?
Edward Farrar Utility District has not yet published a detailed lead service line inventory. The utility is required under federal law to identify and track lead service lines in its system, but the specific breakdown—how many lead lines, galvanized lines, or non-lead lines they've found—is not yet available.
This doesn't mean there's a problem in your area; it typically means the inventory work is ongoing or results haven't been made public yet.
How can you find out about your home?
The most direct approach is to contact Edward Farrar Utility District directly. Ask them:
- Whether your property has a lead service line
- When their full inventory will be publicly available
- What water quality testing programs they offer
Many utilities can tell you based on your address, even if the full inventory isn't online yet.
What if you're concerned about lead in your water?
The EPA and CDC recommend testing your water, especially if your home was built before 1986. A simple test costs $20–50 and tells you whether lead is present. Even if you have a lead service line, proper water handling and testing can reduce your risk.
If you have young children or are pregnant, talk to your pediatrician or doctor about testing recommendations.
