As part of their effort to protect the health of every household, the City of Viroqua water utility is undertaking a project to inventory of all the water service line materials for customers of Viroqua Utilities. A water service is the water pipe that connects your property to the larger sized public system water main.
Over the next ten years Viroqua Utilities will identify all water service line material. To date 1,894 of 1,963 properties have street side service line material verified and 1,861 of1,963 properties have property side service line material verified.
The purpose of this material inventory is to identify any lead or galvanized lines in the system. Galvanized services can present a risk to lead exposure if they were ever historically connected to lead. Those properties with galvanized lines or unknown materials will be contacted in the next month to provide next steps and information of the potential risk of lead in the water services lines. Viroqua Utilities has not found any lead service pipe currently in the system.
We have a number of unknown service materials we are actively looking to determine. If you would like to arrange for an employee to help you identify your material or if you would like to report the material, you found please contact Viroqua Utilities at 608-637-8724.
