Understanding Lead in Water

Ensuring Lead-Free Water

At Southington Water Works, the safety and quality of your drinking water is our top priority. In compliance with the Federal and State Lead and Copper Revised Rule (LCRR), we are actively working to assess and determine the material type of every service line within our water system to ensure that none of the pipes contain lead.

Our department has a long-standing commitment to providing safe, reliable drinking water. Since 1947, Southington Water Works has enforced strict regulations banning the use of lead in all water service lines, and we continue to verify and update our records to meet modern standards. Whether the service line was installed by the department or a contractor, our team has made every effort to inspect and verify that only non-lead materials were used in delivering water to your home or property.

Through this ongoing effort, we aim to protect our community’s health and provide you with peace of mind. Our dedicated team is working tirelessly to ensure that your water comes from a lead-free source, and we are here to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
