ALGOMA TN SANITARY DIST 1 Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
ALGOMA TN SANITARY DIST 1 serves 3,935 people in Wisconsin and draws its water from groundwater sources. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and track lead service lines—the pipes that carry water from the main line under the street to individual homes.
Lead service line inventory status
As of now, this water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. No count of lead, galvanized, or non-lead pipes has been recorded in the available data.
Under the new Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (effective 2024), water systems must identify all lead service lines and develop a plan to replace them. Systems are required to share their inventory with the public. This utility should have an inventory timeline in place.
What you should do
If you live in this service area and want to know whether your home has a lead service line:
- Contact the utility directly. Ask specifically: "Do you have records showing whether my service line contains lead?" Provide your address. They may have older records not yet in a public database.
- Request a copy of their lead inventory plan. Federal regulations require utilities to develop and share these plans.
- Test your water if you're concerned. A simple test costs $20–50 and tells you if lead is present at your tap right now—regardless of the service line material.
Why this matters
Lead service lines pose a real health risk, especially for young children and pregnant people. Water flowing through lead pipes can pick up lead particles. Even if your line is not lead, the question of water quality deserves a clear answer from your utility.
