Help Make Lebanon's Water Even Safer

The City of Lebanon is committed to ensuring safe, clean drinking water for everyone. To achieve this, we need your help identifying the material of the water pipes that connect your home or building to the city water system. Older pipes may contain lead or galvanized steel, which can affect water quality. By taking a few simple steps, you can help improve infrastructure, reduce health risks, and support funding opportunities for pipe replacement.

Why Your Participation Matters

This effort helps us meet the EPA guidelines for identifying water lines that may contain lead. Understanding which materials are present in our system will allow us to apply for grants and low-interest loans for pipe replacement through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. By identifying and replacing old pipes, we can significantly reduce the risk of lead exposure—especially for children and pregnant women.
