Regulations

Good to know before you ask

EPA rules require water systems to inventory service lines and to replace lead lines over the coming years. Who pays for the private side depends on your utility and on local programs: ask your utility before you hire a contractor.

There is no safe level of lead exposure, especially for children. Until the line is replaced, follow your utility's advice, such as running the tap and using a certified filter. We do not perform the work ourselves and do not show prices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have a lead service line?

Your water utility has to publish an inventory of service line materials. You can also check the pipe where it enters your home: lead is dull gray, soft and does not attract a magnet.

Who pays for lead line replacement?

It depends on your utility: some replace the whole line for free, others share the cost or offer grants. Ask your utility first.

Are galvanized lines a problem?

Galvanized pipes that were downstream of lead can hold lead, and EPA rules treat some of them as requiring replacement.
