Build the condition record
Build the condition record
- Search the correct building address in BWSC's current service-line map.
- Save the displayed status and date, including unknown or galvanized-related classifications.
- Ask BWSC whether records or an inspection can confirm material at the public/private connection.
- Keep service-line findings separate from solder, fixtures and pipes inside the building.
Why the pattern matters
Why the pattern matters
MWRA reports on water delivered to Boston, while lead at a tap can relate to the service line or premise plumbing. BWSC provides an address map, inventory information and lead hotline. A map entry is evidence about records, not a complete plumbing inspection or a substitute for water testing guidance.
Questions the record should answer
Questions the record should answer
- Which segment is public, which is private, and what material is verified for each?
- Does a program currently apply, and what owner documents or approvals does it require?
- Ask whether a licensed plumber will inspect premise plumbing at the same time.
- What flushing, sampling, replacement and post-work instructions come from the responsible authority?
