Questions

Does Baltic, SD have lead pipes?

How do I check whether my Baltic home has a lead service line?

Search your address on Baltic's service line inventory map. You can also scratch the pipe where water enters your home: lead is soft, dull gray, scratches to shiny silver and doesn't attract a magnet.
