Denver Water’s Lead Reduction Program was approved in December 2019, and customers who are part of the program will be receiving mailed information and water filters through summer 2020 and beyond. We’ve provided this page as a resource to download and access program materials.
In Denver Water’s experience, homes and buildings built before 1951 are more likely to have a lead water service line, the customer-owned pipe that brings water from Denver Water’s delivery pipes in the street into the home or building. Customers who have or may have a lead service line are enrolled in the Lead Reduction Program. Our interactive map will tell you if your property is one of the estimated 64,000 to 84,000 properties with a possible lead service line.
