Your move
Look up your address in Sugarloaf Water Treatment Plant's service line inventory. If it says lead, galvanized or unknown, test your tap.

Why sampled homes are the worst-case ones is in the guide to reading the number. Small systems behave differently: why small systems go over more often.
