Cascade Ridge Water DistrictDrinking water quality

Find your lead service line

A service line carries water from the main under the street into your home. Some are lead. Type your address and see every record we hold for it.

House number and street, as it appears on your water bill. Apartments share one line with the building.

Result

1428 Halsey Street NE, Cascade Ridge

Lead

Water reaches your tap through a lead pipe. We are replacing both halves of the line, ours and yours.

Use a filter until we replace both sides

Pick up a free filter and six months of cartridges at any district office, or ask us to post one. Run the tap for two minutes before you drink or cook after water has stood in the pipes for six hours or more.

The two halves of your line

Our side, main to curb stop

Lead

A crew dug at the curb stop in May 2024 and saw the pipe.

Your side, curb stop to meter

Galvanized steel

You sent us a photo in February 2025. Galvanized steel that once sat downstream of lead holds lead, so it counts as a lead line.

What happens next

  1. We replace our side. You pay nothing.

    Crews work Halsey Street between 3rd and 7th. We post a card through your door two weeks before, and the water is off for about four hours on the day. Week of 13 April 2026

  2. We replace your side on the same day, if you say yes

    The district pays the first $2,500 and the state grant covers the rest for households under 80% of area median income. Sign the access form and we do both halves in one dig. Form due 27 March 2026

  3. We test your water three days and three months after

    You get both results by post and by email. Keep using the filter until the second result reaches you.

1602 Halsey Street NE, Cascade Ridge

Unknown

We have no record of which metal your line is. That is not an all-clear. Federal rules count an unknown line as a lead line, so use a filter until somebody looks.

Why we hold nothing for this address

Cascade Ridge annexed this street in 2019, and the previous owner kept the tap cards on paper. Nothing was ever filed here. Streets annexed that year are the largest gap in our inventory.

No record. Treat it as lead until a crew looks.

Two ways to get an answer

  1. Book a free inspection

    A crew lifts the meter lid, scratches the pipe and photographs it. It takes fifteen minutes and you do not need to be home. Next slots: 24 and 25 March 2026

  2. Or check it yourself and send a photo

    Scratch the pipe near the meter with a coin and hold a magnet to it. Lead scratches shiny silver and holds no magnet. Send us the photo and we file it as a record on this page.

Date Record Segment Material How we know Evidence
Nothing filed yet A record carries the date, what happened, which half of the line, the metal, how we know and the evidence. The first one will be a crew's inspection or the photo you send. We file it within ten working days, and this result changes with it.

Design notes

Direction

Shape of the page
A lookup. The answer is one word and it comes before the evidence; the table at the foot of each result is the record a resident needs in order to argue with the answer.
What it leads with
The record. Six columns, five rows, no chart. Each row is one thing somebody did on one date.
Spacing
The USWDS defaults, unchanged: a wide, generous column of large text, which is what a public service read under stress needs.
The one bold decision
Readability stated on the page rather than claimed. Every colour pair this screen uses is measured and printed here, including the five different backgrounds the focus ring has to be visible against.

Where the colour comes from

Every colour is one the U.S. Web Design System publishes, taken from the system rather than sampled by eye. The system numbers its colours by lightness, which makes it possible to know in advance which pairs will be readable, and every pair on this page was then measured to confirm it.

Readability, measured

Every colour pair this page leans on, measured. Higher is easier to read, and 4.5 is the accessibility floor for text, 3 for a focus ring.
What sits on what Where Measured
Near-black on white Body text on the page 16.79:1
White on blue The main button label 6.55:1
Blue on white Links and step numerals 6.55:1
White on deep blue The masthead and this panel 13.29:1
Gold on deep blue The masthead strapline and these headings 8.22:1
Red on pale red The lead result and its panel 6.43:1
Near-black on gold The unknown-result marker 10.38:1
Near-black on pale gold The unknown-record notice 15.18:1
Grey on white Hints, column labels, the edge of an input 6.52:1
Near-black on pale red The word Lead, on the answer 15.87:1

What we changed

The focus ring
The system's own focus blue is visible against the page and the masthead and is not visible against three of the other backgrounds a control sits on here, including the main button. So a thin pale keyline now sits between the control and the blue, and carries the boundary the blue could not.
One theme
The U.S. Web Design System publishes one appearance, so there is no dark theme to redefine and the page does not invent one.
Narrow screens
On a narrow screen the record table cannot fit, so each record becomes six labelled lines instead. Scrolling it sideways cut the caption mid-sentence and put three columns off screen with nothing to say so.
No script
The page carries none at all. The form is a plain search, both results are already in the page, and the two states differ only in what the district holds.
