City of Ames Water & Pollution Control
Ames publishes a lead inventory page map and inventory PDF, uses a formal 2024 notice for interim guidance, and explains that the homeowner owns the service line to the meter except when replacement is coordinated through a city water-main project or related city work rather than a standing no-cost program.

Iowa City Water Division
Iowa City says its lead reduction FAQ tells residents to flush stagnant water clean aerators and use cold water while they evaluate service line material, and homeowners who plan replacement need to tell contractors they are using the city's cost-share reimbursement program before work begins because the work still runs through an owner-managed contractor path.

Statewide support still flows through utility pages.
The state program page is useful when the question is which utilities in this state have verified support? It is not a replacement for the local utility record.
Use the rollup when funding is the first question.
Once the program or reimbursement path matters more than the inventory label itself, open the state program page and then move back into the matching utility page.
