Understanding the Minnesota Lead Inventory Tracking Tool

Did you know that the pipes bringing water into your home could impact your health?

To help address concerns about lead in water systems, the Minnesota Lead Inventory Tracking Tool was created. This user-friendly map allows residents to check if their building’s service line— the pipe that connects your home or business to the public water supply—contains lead and might need replacement.

How to Use the Tool

Using the map is simple:

1. Enter your address into the search bar.

2. Check the map to see if the service line material for your building is identified as needing replacement due to lead.

3. Explore the legend to understand the map symbols by clicking the "Legend" button in the top left corner.

What to Expect

If your building has a service line that requires replacement, your local water system will notify you. Notifications are precautionary and do not necessarily indicate an immediate issue with your drinking water. Public water systems routinely test for lead and will inform residents directly if there's a concern with the quality of drinking water.

Why It Matters

Lead pipes, especially in older infrastructure, can pose a risk to health. Replacing them is an essential step toward ensuring safe, clean water for all. The Minnesota Lead Inventory Tracking Tool empowers residents to take an active role in understanding their water supply and addressing potential issues.
