Your move
Look up your address in White Creek Country Estates's service line inventory. If it says lead, galvanized or unknown, test your tap.

Ask White Creek Country Estates whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.
These figures describe homes the utility sampled, not your tap. Only your service line record or a test of your own water answers the question for your house. What a 90th-percentile result does and does not tell you: how to read a lead result. Small systems behave differently: why small systems go over more often.
