Spring Hill Water Service Line Inventory Survey Logo

  • Water Service Line Survey

    For City of Spring Hill Water Customers

  • Thank you for participating! We request that surveys are completed by September 1, 2024.

    The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) in continued efforts to protect public health.

    The City of Spring Hill is compliant with the original Lead and Copper Rule and is currently working to meet the newest requirements. The revisions require that all water service providers maintain an inventory of all service line materials used in the city.

    This survey includes step-by-step instructions including photos and graphics to help you identify your service line material.

    For further information, or to reach out to Public Works with your questions, visit our website.

  • The account number is located at the top right of the water bill.

  • Water Service Line Identification

  • Step 1: Find your service line. The service line may be visible where it comes into the building, such as in the basement, where it connects to the premise plumbing. Identify the material of the pipe that enters the house through the foundation floor or wall.

  • Diagram showing a shut-off valve in a water pipe system. Labels indicate incoming water, a shut-off valve, and a water service to house. The "test here" point is marked with an arrow. The testing location is between the water line's entry through the wall and the home's water shut off valve.

  • Step 2: Gather a key, coin, or flathead screwdriver and a refrigerator magnet. Carefully scratch the pipe with the key or coin. Do not use a knife or other sharp tool. Be careful not to make a hole in the pipe. If the pipe scratches easily and turns a shiny silver color, the pipe may be lead or galvanized steel. Copper pipes will have the color of a penny.

    Step 3: Place the magnet against the pipe. If the magnet sticks, the pipe is galvanized steel. The magnet will not stick to lead, copper, or plastic pipes.

  • Close-up images of different pipe materials: copper, lead, galvanized steel or iron, and plastic. Each image shows a scraper revealing the surface texture of the respective material.

  • OPTIONAL: You may upload photos of your service line or use the "Take Photo" feature below to take a photo of your service line right now. This is optional. If you do not know your service line material, we may be able to help you identify it through photos, although that is not guaranteed.
