Introduction
Access to safe and clean drinking water is fundamental to our well-being yet concerns about the presence of lead in drinking water have been a recurring issue. Lead contamination in drinking water can have serious health implications, particularly for infants, young children, and pregnant women. It is crucial to be informed and proactive when it comes to ensuring the purity of your tap water.JVWCD is committed to providing safe and reliable drinking water. We regularly test for lead in our water system and have always been within acceptable limits. However, lead can get into water as it sits in or passes through the internal plumbing or fixtures of your home or business depending on the materials used and year of construction. Older buildings are more likely to have plumbing systems that contain lead.
Lead Service Line Inventory
In compliance with the EPA's Revised Lead and Copper Rule, JVWCD has completed our Lead Service Line Inventory to identify the pipe materials for both public and private service connections. This was achieved through various methods, including a review of historical installation records, statistical analysis, and customer surveys. The results indicate that there are no lead or galvanized service lines requiring replacement in the JVWCD retail service area. A map detailing the material type for each service connection is available below.Learn More
