A service line is a portion of pipe that connects the water main to the building inlet. Ownership of the service line varies by water system, but the Harriman Utility Board service line is owned partially by the Harriman Utility Board (main distribution line to the meter) and partially by the property owner (from the meter to the building).
We have developed a lead service line verification and replacement program. The results of the inventory are below. If you are planning to replace your service line, contact us at (865) 882-3242 prior to replacement so that we can coordinate our efforts. If your location has been identified as “unknown material,” please contact us to learn how to verify the service line materials.
