Service Line Information

What is a Water Service Line?

A water service line is an underground pipe that connects a home or business to a water main, which carries public water supply.  In Wyoming, we have found service lines made of copper, plastic, brass, galvanized steel, and lead.  The potential for lead exposure comes from lead or galvanized water service lines. The property boundary typically splits the ownership of the water service line between the owner of the property and the city.  This means the city can replace its side of the service line independent of what the owner does.  The same applies to the owner.

Do I Have a Lead Service Line?

See the map.  As you know, there are still many unknown service lines in Wyoming that have not been inventoried. For the 2024 Lead Inventory, view the EPA Service Inventory document. Feel free to check your service line size and material where the service line enters your home.  Take a photograph as well and forward your findings to mlippert@wyomingohio.gov.  If you need help, feel free to call us at 513-821-0037.
