What is a lead service pipe?
The service pipe connects the water main, usually located beneath the street or the back alley, and the water meter usually located in the basement of the home. There are two pieces to the lead service pipe; the section between the main and the valve at the property line is the responsibility of the water utility (EPCOR). The section between the property line and the house is the owned by the property owner and is their responsibility. Copper is the most common service pipe material used in Edmonton.
