Cost route status

low confidence

Public/private assumptions stay on the replacement-cost route.

Decision order

The anatomy of the local handoff.

Next step

Use the official utility lookup before making any replacement decision.

Next step

Separate public-side responsibility from private-side responsibility.

Next step

Use a program, cost, filter, or transaction page only after the inventory path is clear.

Replacement support stays secondary to the record.

Program or cost guidance only becomes meaningful after the utility's own lookup, inventory status, and notice framing are clear for the address.

Use the utility page and official lookup first. Cost or support pages should not outrank the utility record.

Keep public-side responsibility and private-side responsibility separate from the start.

This utility is still partly narrative-only, so address-level confirmation matters more than generic interpretation.

Madison Water Utility

Madison tells property owners to determine whether lead service exists on private property and says owners who discover lead may qualify for a rebate up to 3000 dollars if they contact Madison Water instead of relying on a citywide no-cost replacement program.
