Chatham Launches Door-To-Door Survey To Identify Lead Water Service Lines

CHATHAM, NJ - Chatham's Water Department will be going door to door throughout the community to inspect water service pipes entering homes and businesses as part of a state-mandated lead service line inventory.

Workers may knock on residents' doors to request a brief visual inspection of the water service line where it enters the building. The inspection takes only a few minutes and is required to ensure compliance with state and federal drinking water regulations.

All Water Department employees conducting the survey will carry proper identification.

Residents with questions can call the Public Works Department at 973-635-5242.
