WHY THIS EXISTS
Everyone deserves understandable water information.
Testing costs money. Renters may not get the water bill. Some communities have waited longer for old pipes to be replaced. We bring public records together so you can understand your water and find help, whether you rent or own your home.
Works for renters
The address matters even when you do not own the pipes or receive the water bill.
Find where pipe repairs are needed
People in older homes and communities with less funding may need help checking old pipes. Renters can ask their utility or landlord about lead pipes and free testing.
Make health information usable
Lead can harm children’s brain development and learning. Understand possible health effects over time, and when to ask for testing or medical advice.
