Winchester Municipal Utilities is currently working to identify the material of all the service lines serving customers in our system.

Based upon a recent inventory conducted by WMU, some customers have been notified that the drinking water service line leading to their residence is currently of an unknown material.  Service lines installed before 1988 were sometimes made of lead, so there is the potential that some service lines in our service area are made of lead.   If you received such notification, then we ask that you complete the survey below to help us determine the material of your service line.

For more information about why we are doing this and how to identify the material on your own, check out www.bit.ly/checkyourpipesky  or https://www.epa.gov/lead  If you have any questions or concerns about your drinking water, please do not hesitate to contact WMU at (859) 744-5434.
