Village of Grand Rapids Lead Line Customer Survey

To complete this survey, you will need a smart phone (camera), a coin, a key or another tool, and a magnet.

The service line comes into your building from the street. It is typically located in a utility room on the lowest level of the building or in a crawl space. The service line will be connected to the water meter, if you have one. Identify a test area on the pipe between the point where it enters the building and the inlet valve/meter. If the pipe is covered or wrapped, expose a small area of metal.

Scratch test instructions: Use the coin, key, or another tool to carefully scratch the pipe (like you would a lottery ticket). If your line is painted, you may need sandpaper to clear a small area.

Magnet test instructions: Place the magnet on the pipe.
