Lead & Lead Service Lines
College Utilities and Golden Heart Utilities' systems are free of lead. However, in accordance with the new EPA Lead and Copper Rule updates, our Company has conducted service line inventories to determine if any customer-owned lead lines exist.

Golden Heart Utilities Service Line Inventory
These Inventories show the material of each service line by address. If we don’t know the material, it is marked “Unknown” — because records were unavailable, the line is inaccessible, or the info we have may be inaccurate. If marked “Non-Lead - Other”, the piping was installed after Alaska’s Lead Ban of 1989. Please contact us at usainfo@akwater.com if you have any questions.
Lead is toxic to humans, especially when it contaminates drinking water. While lead has been virtually eliminated from public utility water systems, it can still be found in older home plumbing. The U.S. EPA has declared the elimination of lead in drinking water a national health priority, with a key focus being Lead Service Lines — the pipes that connect homes and businesses to public watermains.
It's important you take a moment to learn about the dangers of lead in drinking water, the likelihood of lead in your plumbing, how to easily test for it in, and how to help us inventory lead risks in your community.
