How do I find out if I if I have a lead or galvanized service line?

The Hawthorne Water System has no actual lead service lines.  Roughly 45% of the service lines in teh system are made all or in part of galvanized pipe, which the State of NewJersey has legislatively defined to be "lead," All customers with galvanized service lines were sent notices on 2/22/2022 via certified mail providing this information.
