Common questions

How many lead pipes are in Ontario County, NY?

Who pays to replace lead service lines in Ontario County?

It depends on your water utility. New York has no state law setting who pays for the private side, but the state Environmental Facilities Corporation has given cities large grants for lead line work, including the Lead Service Line Replacement Program and LIFT grants. We have not confirmed a homeowner program for a utility in this county yet, so ask your utility before you hire a contractor.

How do I find out if my house has a lead service line?

Look up your address on your water utility's service line inventory map, or check the pipe where it enters your home: lead is dull gray, soft, scratches to shiny silver, and a magnet won't stick. See our step-by-step guide.
