Who pays in Ohio

Ohio has no state law that makes utilities pay for the private side, so each city sets its own policy. The results range widely: Cincinnati and Columbus replace for free, Cleveland covers the private side when it works on the public side, and Dayton leaves the cost to owners. Ohio EPA passes federal money to cities as principal forgiveness through its Water Supply Revolving Loan Account.

Common questions

How many lead pipes are in Fairfield County, OH?

Who pays to replace lead service lines in Fairfield County?

It depends on your water utility. Ohio has no state law that makes utilities pay for the private side, so each city sets its own policy. 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.
