UNION HILL WATER ASSOCIATION INC Lead Service Line Inventory
What you need to know
UNION HILL WATER ASSOCIATION INC serves approximately 8,720 people in Washington State. The utility has not yet completed a lead service line (LSL) inventory—meaning the total number of lead pipes connected to homes in this system is currently unknown.
Lead service lines are pipes that carry water from the water main (in the street) into your home. They're a health concern because lead can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older plumbing or corrosive water conditions. If you live in this service area, you may have a lead service line even if the utility hasn't inventoried it yet.
What this means for your home
Without a completed inventory, you won't find a public list showing whether your specific address has a lead service line. The best way to find out is to contact the utility directly and ask about your property's service line material.
You can also take steps on your own:
- Check your paperwork. Older homes (pre-1980s) are more likely to have lead pipes, but age alone doesn't guarantee it.
- Call a plumber. They can inspect the line where it enters your home or advise you on testing.
- Test your water. An EPA-certified lab can tell you if lead is present in your drinking water. Your utility can recommend labs in your area.
Next steps for residents
- Contact the utility directly to ask whether your address is on a lead service line. Call or visit their website for your water quality report.
- Request a water test if you're concerned, especially if you have young children or pregnant household members.
- Check the CDC website for guidance on reducing lead exposure at home (faucet filters, flushing, cold water use).
- Stay tuned. Federal law now requires all utilities to complete LSL inventories by October 2024, so more information may become available.
