Lead Service Replacement Program

In July 2021, the state of New Jersey enacted legislation that requires all water service providers to share with customers the material of the utility-owned and customer-owned service lines that connect to their property, notify customers with service lines that are lead or galvanized steel, and replace them by 2031.

Get The Lead Out in Three Easy Steps

New Jersey American Water’s water mains are not made of lead; however, the water service line that carries the water from the water main in the street to your home could be. Homeowners’ service lines may be made of lead, copper, galvanized steel or plastic.

We are asking customers to help support by locating and identifying their water service line and submit a short survey. If the service line is confirmed to be lead or galvanized steel, New Jersey American Water will work with you to have those service lines replaced. Here’s how to identify and report your pipes:

  1. Watch our video below on how to identify what your pipes are made of.

  2. Snap a picture of your pipes after you’ve conducted the test.

  3. Self Report your Service Line Material here or through the button below!

You can also find out the material of your service line by using our customer map here.

Your participation is appreciated, but optional.
