Frequently asked
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
Ask ROSWELL MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM whether your address appears in its service line inventory, which utilities must publish. You can also look where the water pipe enters your home: lead pipe is dull grey, soft, and shows shiny metal when scratched gently.
How do I reduce lead in my water?
Run the cold tap for a few minutes after water has sat for hours, use only cold water for drinking and cooking, and use a filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead reduction. Replacing a lead service line removes the main source.
