Find your utility's lead line record, replacement program, and likely cost.
Start with the utility that serves the address. Use the local record to see what the inventory says, what a mailed notice means, whether a replacement program exists, and how replacement costs may be split when the published local record is strong enough.
Current local records for utilities with inventory, notice, program, or cost guidance.
Use the state page to find the right utility, then move into the local record.
Local replacement programs, reimbursements, and funded support paths now tracked on the site.
Every page is tied to a real utility, its notices, and its published replacement rules. When the local record is weak, the site stays cautious.
Start with your utility, then confirm on the official address checker.
Use this when you know the address, city, or utility name but not the right local record yet. The lookup points you to the most likely utility page, then hands you to the official lookup.
If you do not know the utility yet, start with the state and move into the local record.
State pages help you narrow the search. The utility page is still where notice, program, and replacement questions get answered.

Utility pages are where notice, program, and replacement questions get answered.
Each record keeps four questions separate: what the utility says about the line, what the notice means, whether a replacement program exists, and who may have to pay.

Kendallville says it completed its lead service line inventory on October 16 2024, keeps sending annual paper letters until replacement is recorded, and began phase 1 replacement work in 2026 using state grant and loan funding with signed right-of-entry forms rather than an owner-triggered citywide replacement path.

Start with the utility record
Inventory status, address lookup, and notice language come first. Everything else follows after the utility record is clear.
Program and cost only with local proof
Replacement support and price guidance only appear when the local utility or city record is specific enough to support them.
No generic national drift
The question is always local: this utility, this city, this notice, this replacement path.
Guides help with context, but the utility page stays primary.
Use a guide when you need the basics first. Then move back into the local utility record for the actual decision.
Known vs potential lead service line
Utilities use different labels for certainty. A known lead line means the utility has direct evidence or a verified record. A potential or possible lead line often means the utility still needs more evidence.
Lead service line buyer and seller checklist
Real estate decisions around a lead service line are easier when the parties anchor to the utility inventory, the notice status, and a local replacement path instead of generic plumbing language.
Lead service line replacement cost
Replacement cost is not one number. It changes with line length, surface restoration, permit friction, local labor, and whether the work covers only the private side or the full line.
Lead water filter vs replacement
A certified filter can reduce interim exposure, but it does not replace the need to verify and, when needed, replace a lead service line.
What is a lead service line?
A lead service line is the buried pipe that carries water from the water main to a building. It is different from interior plumbing, fixtures, or an old faucet.
Who pays for lead service line replacement?
Payment responsibility depends on the utility, the state, and whether the line is on the public side, private side, or both. Some utilities now cover both sides, while others only cover work in public space.
