Some homeowners will be receiving a letter we are required by the EPA to send to all addresses where it is unknown of what material their water service line is constructed of. The water service line is the line from the curb stop to the house. This line is the homeowner’s responsibility.
The City does test for lead in our water system we have passed all of our lead and copper tests, but we are still required to send this letter.
To help determine the material of your service line, please contact us at 608-562-3794, email us at [email protected] EPA has developed an online step-by-step guide to help people identify pipes in their homes which can be found here: http://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/protect-your-tap-quick-check-lead.
