HomeMy WebLinkAboutAugust 2024 Utility Insert_accessibleKnow more about your water and sanitary services to avoid costly
repairs.
Water and sanitary service pipes are owned by the property owner. These service pipes connect the
home to public utilities. Think of them like a driveway; a driveway connects the home to a road and is
owned by the property owner. Service pipes will degrade over time and may require repair or
replacement. Older homes may also have service pipes made of materials known to pose a health
hazard or be prone to failure. For instance, many homes built before the lead ban in 1988 may have
copper water pipes with leaded solder. Even older homes many have water service pipes made of
lead or sanitary service pipes made of Orangeburg (a pipe material known to fail).
