Here's How to Get the Water Dept. to Pay You $25!

SAN ANGELO – The City of San Angelo Water Department needs 400 residences to test for lead in water service lines and they will pay you $25 just to allow experts to inspect your water line.  

To meet new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Water Utilities Department needs to inspect water service lines at residential properties to verify if lead materials are present.

This spring and summer, the City will need to access customer properties to inspect water service lines at 400 properties. Inspection crews will not need to enter any resident’s home and residents will not need to be present for the inspection.

Homeowners may refer to the Lead Inspection Eligibility Map to see if their property is eligible for the program.

This new regulation’s sole purpose is to protect communities from the risks of lead exposure from drinking water flowing through lead-based pipes.

If you would like for your water service line to be inspected, then please complete the Authorization to Access Private Property form, which is located at cosatx.us/leadprotectionprogram. Customers who complete the Authorization to Access Private Property form will be notified if their property is selected for an inspection.

Residents whose sites are selected will receive a $25 Visa gift card.
