Description
Lead Pipe Check lets you search any U.S. address and instantly see if it has a lead or galvanized water service line — pulled from official EPA/utility records, not estimates. Free, no login required. Unlike general water-safety guides, it's address-specific: real government data across 40+ states/provinces, standardized into one searchable database. Optional paid add-ons (PDF reports, monitoring, metered search plans) exist for heavier use, but the core address lookup stays free.

Could you build this?
Partial The address lookup UI is trivial, but sourcing, standardizing, geocoding, and joining nationwide municipal EPA lead service line inventories across thousands of water utilities is a significant data engineering challenge.
What it would actually take: The app needs a geocoding pipeline (Mapbox/Google Geocoding) coupled with a PostGIS spatial database containing municipal parcel and utility line data. The core challenge is ETL: acquiring, cleaning, and continuously harmonizing disparate, messy PDF/CSV/GIS datasets mandated under EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Improvements across tens of thousands of water systems.
