Notice to Individuals Served by a Galvanized Service Line
The City of Onamia is focused on protecting the health of every household in our community. This notice contains important information about your drinking water. Please share this information with anyone who drinks and/or cooks using water at this property. In addition to people directly served at this property, this can include people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, businesses, as well as parents served by childcare at this property.
The City of Onamia has determined that, as of 11/3/2025, a portion of your water pipe (called a service line) that connects your home to the water main is made from galvanized material and may have absorbed lead. Our records indicate that the galvanized service line at this location may have been connected to a lead service line or a lead connector or is downstream of an unknown service line which may contain lead. EPA has defined these service lines as “galvanized requiring replacement”. If you have information that could help us better describe your service line, contact us at (320)532-3311, or by email at publicworks@cityofonamia.com, and we will update the service line inventory.
Galvanized service lines that have absorbed lead can contribute to lead in drinking water. People living in homes with a galvanized service line that has absorbed lead may have an increased risk of exposure to lead from their drinking water.
