Your move
Look up your address in Elmore Water & Sewer Authority'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 Elmore Water & Sewer Authority whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.

The lead result guide covers how utilities pick the homes they sample. A zero today does not rule out a jump later - the rules are tightening in 2027.
