Your move
Look up your address in Placer Csa - Sheridan'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 Placer Csa - Sheridan whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.
