BETHEL WATER DEPARTMENT CUSTOMERS: LET'S GET THE LEAD OUT!
Recent revisions to the Lead & Copper Rule require Bethel Water Department to prepare an inventory of all water service pipe materials in our system - both the Water Department portion and the customer portion. You can assist us greatly by identifying the type of pipe that enters your home or business by following the steps outlined below.
Please send an email with your address, type of pipe and a photo of the pipe to publicworks@bethel-ct.gov If you would like assistance or need a Bethel Water Department employee to verify the type of pipe at no cost to you, please call us at 203-794-8549 or send us an email to set up an appointment.
