Your move
Look up your address in Raineri Mutual Water Company'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 Raineri Mutual Water Company whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.
