Lead - A portion of the pipe that is made of lead, which connects the water main to the building inlet.

Galvanized Requiring Replacement (GRR) - A galvanized service line that is or ever was downstream of an LSL or is currently downstream of an unknown service line.

Unknown - The service line material is not known to be a lead, GRR, or non-lead, such as where there is no documented evidence supporting material classification.

What do I do if I see my property has been identified as “Lead”?

1. You can request to have your water sampled by Buffalo Water by calling 311. This is a good way to check for lead in your water.

2. You can volunteer to participate in Buffalo Water’s compliance sampling pool, so they will test your water quality on an ongoing basis along with other residents across the City. Volunteer by calling 311, visit Buffalo Water Lead Sampling Compliance Pool or scan the QR code below and complete the form.
