LANDER, CITY OF — Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
LANDER, CITY OF serves approximately 7,615 people in Wyoming. The utility draws from surface water sources.
Lead service line inventory status
As of our last update, the City of Lander has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory. This means the utility has not yet reported how many homes are connected by lead pipes, or provided details on the materials used in their distribution system.
Under the 2021 Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, all water systems must complete their lead service line inventories and make them publicly available. The deadline for most utilities was October 16, 2024.
What this means for you
Without a public inventory, you won't find a definitive answer online about whether your home has a lead service line. Your best option is to contact the City of Lander directly and ask:
- Does my address have a lead service line?
- If you don't know, can you tell me how to find out (inspection, historical records, etc.)?
In the meantime, you can reduce exposure by running water from the cold tap for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking, and using cold water for infant formula.
If you're concerned about lead in your water
The CDC recommends testing both your water and your child's blood lead level if you're worried. A pediatrician or your state health department can guide testing.
For general information on lead and health, visit the CDC's lead page or contact your Wyoming Department of Health.
Next steps for residents
- Contact the City of Lander water utility and ask about your service line material.
- Request your water system's lead and copper test results if you want to know about lead levels in your water.
- Have your water tested privately if your utility hasn't shared recent results.
- Talk to your pediatrician if you have young children and want to discuss lead exposure risks.
