Water Quality

The City of Evansville takes water quality and reliability very seriously and works with the City Engineer, Town & Country Engineering, on a regular basis to address concerns and plan improvements to the water system.

Lead Service Lateral Replacement

The City recently worked with the City Engineer to complete a survey of all known information regarding the water laterals throughout the system. Lead and galvanized steel water lines can pose a risk to your health, as lead exposure can occur through drinking water, especially if lead pipes, plumbing fixtures, or solder are present in your home’s water system. The City replaces the City  portion of all water laterals under the streets as part of reconstruction projects, the portion nearest your home is the responsibility of each homeowner to maintain and replace. Please see resources below and complete the Lead Service Lateral Survey.
