ANNOUNCEMENT
Water Service Line Inventory Information for Property Owners
If you are a property owner who received a letter about unknown service line materials, your local water system is working with MSK Engineers to determine the pipe materials of unknown water service lines. The primary goal of this project is to locate lead and galvanized iron pipes. This project is being conducted in response to new U.S. EPA drinking water regulations passed in 2024, requiring all water systems to categorize service lines previously labeled as "unknown."
