Lead Service Line Inventory for DARBOY SANITARY DIST 1
DARBOY SANITARY DIST 1 serves about 13,000 residents in Wisconsin. Like all US water utilities, it is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect homes to the public water main—and share that information with customers.
What we know about DARBOY SANITARY DIST 1
This utility draws from groundwater sources. As of now, the utility has not yet completed a full inventory of lead service lines in its system. No data on the number of lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines is currently available in public records.
This does not mean there are no lead service lines in the system. It means the inventory is still in progress.
What you should do
Contact the utility directly to ask about the status of their lead service line inventory and whether your home's service line has been tested or recorded.
You can reach DARBOY SANITARY DIST 1 to:
- Ask if your address has a lead service line
- Request a free or low-cost water test if you're concerned
- Find out when the full inventory will be available
- Learn about any replacement programs or funding
Get your water tested if you want to know whether lead is present in your tap water right now. A simple water sample can tell you this, and many utilities offer testing at no cost.
Reduce exposure while you wait. If your home was built before 1986, assume your service line could contain lead. Run water for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking if the faucet hasn't been used for several hours. Use cold water for drinking and cooking (hot water dissolves lead faster).
Federal funding for replacement
Utilities nationwide are receiving federal grants and loans through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to replace lead service lines. If your utility receives this funding, residents may be eligible for free or subsidized replacement. Ask your utility about any programs available.
