The City of Troutdale Water Division has completed our initial lead service line inventory project required by the State of Oregon Drinking Water Program and the recently published EPA lead and copper rule revision. We are pleased to announce that no lead service lines were detected in the city’s distribution system.
The Following methods were used to supply data of Troutdale’s 4,886 water services to the Drinking Water Program:
- Data collection of plumbing type has been collected for several years during meter replacements for approximately 2,100 services.
- County parcel and tax lot data were used to eliminate roughly 1,600 homes that were built after January 1, 1986. These homes were built after the lead ban.
- All remaining appx. 1200 services were identified after hydro excavation in the residential water meter box and the plumbing material was identified on both sides of the water meter by city staff.
The vast majority of city owned water services (between main and meter) are copper, with customer-side (meter to building) services consisting of copper, PVC, PEX, galvanized iron, and Polyethylene. No lead services or galvanized requiring replacement (galvanized plumbing downstream of a lead service) were identified. No service larger than 2” (commercial services) was included in this updated regulation.

The city’s water data is available on the data access site for Oregon Drinking Water Services.
The data for your service is available upon request by calling the water division at 503-674-3300.
