Customers have interactions most with the service line portion of the
CWLP water system that brings water to their homes or businesses.
Currently, there are over 51,000 metered water service connections to
the system. These connections range from 5/8 inch to 10 inches in
diameter, with 96% being one inch or smaller. A service is generally
composed of: a connection to the main, a control valve and connective
piping, a water meter, and (for 75% of services) a meter pit. In 2010, a
total of 236 new service connections were installed on the CWLP water
system. A variety of materials have been used for water services and are still present in the CWLP system. Galvanized iron, lead and copper have been used for connective piping. As far as maintenance of service lines is concerned, CWLP maintains the portion of line that extends from the water main to the shut-off valve located near the street or in the customer's water meter pit. The property owner is responsible for any repairs or replacements required to the section of line after the shut-off/meter pit.
