RAWLINS WATER SUPPLY, CITY OF Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
Rawlins Water Supply serves approximately 9,006 people in Wyoming. The system draws from surface water sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. As of now, the utility has not inventoried any of its service lines to identify which ones contain lead.
Under the Lead and Copper Rule, all water systems are required to inventory their service lines and identify which are made of lead, galvanized steel, or other materials. This inventory is a critical first step in protecting residents from lead exposure.
What This Means for You
If you live in Rawlins, you cannot yet see whether your home's service line—the pipe connecting the main water line to your house—contains lead. This creates uncertainty about potential lead in your water at the point where it enters your home.
What you can do now:
- Contact the utility directly to ask about the timeline for completing the inventory and whether they have any preliminary information about your specific address.
- Have your water tested. A simple test can tell you if lead is present in the water at your tap. Contact the Rawlins Water Supply for information on free or low-cost testing.
- Use interim protection measures while the inventory is underway: flush your pipes in the morning before use, use cold water for drinking and cooking, and consider a point-of-use filter certified for lead removal if you're concerned.
If you have young children or are pregnant, lead exposure is a particular concern. The CDC has guidance on lead and child health; speak with your pediatrician if you have health questions.

Frequently asked
Does my house in Rawlins have a lead service line?
The water system has not yet completed its inventory, so this information is not publicly available yet. Contact Rawlins Water Supply directly to ask about your address or to request testing.
How do I know if there's lead in my tap water?
The best way is to have your water tested. Lead in service lines isn't always detected by taste or appearance. Contact your water utility to learn about free or subsidized testing in your area.
What should I do if I'm worried about lead?
Flush cold water from your tap for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking, use cold water for drinking and cooking, and consider a point-of-use filter certified for lead removal. For health concerns, speak with your pediatrician or contact the CDC.
