Englewood Utilities Lead Reduction Program is a multi-year program to remove all lead service lines and replace them with copper lines. Safe drinking water is our top priority, and Englewood Utilities is taking significant steps in the coming years to eliminate lead pipes from the water system. While water is currently lead-free when it leaves the water treatment facility and travels through the distribution system, it can come in contact with historic lead service line or plumbing throughout your home. If your home was constructed before 1960, you may have a lead service line providing water to your home. As a part of the Lead Reduction Program, Englewood Utilities will replace the entire lead service line from the water main in the street to just inside your home with a copper service line. 

Your Water Service Line

Your water service line is the pipe that carries water from the water main in the street to just inside of your home. The service line between the water main and the curb stop is owned by the city. The remainder of the service line, from the curb stop to inside the home, is owned by the property owner. See the figures below.
