SUMMIT WATER & SUPPLY CO Lead Service Line Inventory
What you need to know
SUMMIT WATER & SUPPLY CO serves 16,109 people in Washington state. The utility draws its water from groundwater sources.
Current status: The utility has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. This means there is no public record yet of how many lead pipes connect homes to the water main in this system.
Why this matters
Lead service lines are the most common source of lead in drinking water. If your home was built before 1986, there's a meaningful chance your service line contains lead. Until your utility completes an inventory and shares the results, you won't know whether your address is affected.
Federal law now requires all water systems to inventory lead service lines and make that information available to customers. SUMMIT WATER & SUPPLY CO is still in the process of doing this work.
What happens next
The utility must complete its inventory and develop a plan to replace lead service lines over time. Once they've done the inventory, residents should be able to find out whether their property has a lead service line.
In the meantime, if you're concerned about lead in your water:
- Contact SUMMIT WATER & SUPPLY CO directly to ask about their lead service line inventory timeline and whether they have any records about your address.
- Consider getting your water tested if you have young children or are pregnant. A simple test can measure lead levels in your tap water. Your utility or local health department can recommend certified labs.
- Use cold tap water for drinking and cooking. If water has been sitting in pipes for more than 6 hours, let it run for 30 seconds before use.
- Check the CDC website for guidance on reducing lead exposure at home.
