New York City is known for its clean and safe drinking water, but if your home still has lead or galvanized steel service lines, your water might be at risk. Lead exposure can pose serious health concerns, especially for children and pregnant women. While NYC continues to meet all safety standards, the responsibility for replacing outdated service lines falls on homeowners. If you’re concerned about lead pipes in your home, Harris Watermain & Sewer Contractors can help.
Why Lead Service Lines Are a Problem
Lead pipes, common in older homes, can corrode over time, releasing toxic particles into your drinking water. Though New York City treats its water to reduce lead risk, pipes inside homes with lead service lines remain a potential hazard. Ignoring these aging pipes can lead to serious consequences for your family’s health.
What Homeowners Need to Know
Replacing lead water lines can be a significant investment. The cost of this type of infrastructure work often exceeds $10,000, which can be a burden for many homeowners. While the city has launched a new program targeting certain neighborhoods, not all properties are eligible. This is where we come in.

Signs You May Need to Replace Your Water Service Line
How can you tell if it’s time to replace your lead or galvanized steel water service line? Here are a few common indicators:
- Discolored Water: Rusty or brownish water could indicate pipe corrosion.
- Low Water Pressure: If your water pressure has noticeably decreased, your service line might be clogged or deteriorating.
