Greeley Water’s top priority is to provide safe drinking water and protect public health. In recent years, there has been greater national awareness of the potential health risks of lead in drinking water. The water leaving Greeley’s treatment facilities is lead-free. Our water testing confirms that lead does not come from our water supplies or the city’s water transmission pipelines. However, lead may be present in older homes’ plumbing and water service lines. We are working with customers to identify and reduce those risks.


Inspection and Replacement

Greeley's Water & Sewer Department has already replaced all known lead service lines on the public side of the water meter. However, there may still be sections that contain lead on the customer-owned portion of a water service line, or undiscovered historical lead service lines.

In early 2023, Greeley Water began inspecting and replacing customer service lines that may contain or have risk of being impacted by a historical lead service line, at no cost to the homeowner.


Learn the Material of Your Water Service Line

If your water service line is attached to a property built before 1960 and you haven't completed a self-inspection questionnaire yet, we need to hear from you! It takes just a few minutes, and you can save the city hundreds of dollars by answering a few questions about your water service line.

    Mid City Corporation submitted a proposal to the City of Greeley to perform potholing operations to help identify the material of water service lines. Potholing involves creating small holes using pressurized water and a vacuum to perform a visual inspection of the water service line.
