LARAMIE, CITY OF — Lead Service Line Inventory
The City of Laramie serves approximately 32,395 people and relies on surface water as its primary water source. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to inventory lead service lines (LSLs)—the pipes that connect the water main to individual homes.
What we know about Laramie's lead service lines
As of now, the City of Laramie has not yet completed or publicly reported the results of a lead service line inventory. This does not mean there are no lead lines in the system; it means the inventory work is still underway or the findings have not been made publicly available.
Lead service lines are a real concern in older homes and neighborhoods. Water sitting in a lead pipe—especially if your water is corrosive (acidic)—can leach lead into your drinking water. Lead exposure, particularly for young children and pregnant people, carries serious health risks.
How to find out if you have a lead service line
Your best source of current information is the City of Laramie itself. Contact the water utility directly to ask:
- Whether your address has been surveyed
- If your service line is lead, galvanized (which may contain lead), or confirmed non-lead
- What the timeline is for completing the full inventory
- Whether any replacement or treatment programs are available
You can also check your property records or ask a plumber to inspect your service line if you're concerned.
If you're worried about lead in your water now
If you haven't had your water tested, consider it—especially if you have young children or are pregnant. EPA-certified labs can test for lead. The City of Laramie water department may also offer testing or information on where to test locally.
For health concerns, talk to your pediatrician or contact the CDC's lead hotline for guidance specific to your situation.
