Look up your address in Dillards Hill's service line inventory. If it says lead, galvanized or unknown, test your tap. If your own line is lead, replacing the private side runs about $1,200-$12,300 (EPA average about $4,700). Ask Dillards Hill whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.
