Under the 2021 Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring water systems to provide customers with specific information about their water service lines.

A service line is the pipe connecting the City water main to a building. A typical configuration of a service line is shown in the figure below. The City of Binghamton owns from the water main to the curb stop, a shutoff valve located in front of the building. The property owns from the curb stop to the building.

In response to the updated EPA regulations, the City of Binghamton Water & Sewer Department has been working to create a lead service line inventory for all City properties based on available information.

A link to the lead service line inventory can be found below. Property owners can use the search function to find their address.

This information is intended to notify consumers of whether the water they are receiving has been delivered through a lead, galvanized requiring replacement (GRR), or lead status unknown service line, and help owners and/or occupants make decisions on what actions to take to reduce their potential exposure to lead in drinking water.

Below is information for residents whose drinking water service lines have been identified as lead, galvanized requiring replacement (GRR) or unknown.

For additional information, residents may contact the Binghamton Water & Sewer Department at (607) 772-7210.
