Valley Water District Service Line Inventory
A recent Environmental Protection Agency ruling requires that every Public Water System conduct an inventory of all public and private water lines by October of 2024 to determine if there are any lead service lines. Valley Water District is in compliance with that rule and has submitted the findings that we have available with no lead found in any of our systems. The District is VERY CONFIDENT that there is no lead in any of our systems based on the knowledge, experience and history of our current staff over the last 20+ years. There has been no lead found or suspected in any of the water systems we have repaired or maintained. Unfortunately, because all of the systems were either purchased or donated to the District, there are not accurate drawings or information of all of the materials installed in each system. Therefore, until we have the time and resources available to identify all of the service lines, the District has to list them as “Unknown, likely not lead”.
Because there are materials in the ground that technically are not known, the District is required by law to send a notification to all customers who are being served that the material is unknown. This includes private service lines for homes that were built prior to 1986 (lead was banned in all water lines at the federal level in 1986, so any homes built after that do not have lead in their service lines).

June 29, 2026Meter Replacement Project - begins in Eldorado System
Meter Replacement Project Information: Due to the age of approximately half of the water meters throughout the District Systems, the District has started a 3-year program to replace all the existing manual read meters with current radio read technology. When completed, all customer meters will be radio read, which will significantly increase the efficiency and accuracy of meter reading and billing. In addition, the upgrade to all radio read meters will eliminate the need to buy costly replacement meter reading equipment.
Eldorado System portion of the project begins the week of July 6th and is expected to last approximately 1 month.
Please click on this link to see the letter mailed out to the Eldorado System customers to notify them of the work that will be going on in the Eldorado System.
