WASA has replaced over 500 lead service pipes and is identifying others for replacement. If WASAs records show that a house is connected to the water main by a lead service pipe, WASA will provide a free kit that residents can use to test their tap water for high levels of lead. WASA will pick up the kit, analyze it for free and notify residents of the results within 30 days.
