What to do in your house
Look up your address in Echo Valley Wsc's service line inventory. If it says lead, galvanized or unknown, test your tap.

Ask Echo Valley Wsc whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.

The lead result guide covers how utilities pick the homes they sample. Small systems behave differently: why small systems go over more often.
