Interpretation

This water system has confirmed lead service lines. Lead pipes can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older plumbing. Children and pregnant women face the highest risk. Running your tap for 30 seconds before drinking is a first step; contact your water utility for more.

A significant share of this system's service lines are recorded as unknown material. Under EPA rules, unknown lines are treated similarly to lead lines until verified. Your water utility is required to investigate and reclassify these.

The service line inventory covers pipes owned and operated by the water system, typically from the water main to the property line. Household service lines on the customer's side of the meter are the homeowner's responsibility and may or may not be included depending on the system and state law.
