Which Nebraska Areas Have the Most Galvanized Pipe Risk?
The 3 Nebraska areas with the highest share of confirmed galvanized service lines requiring replacement, out of 3 areas with enough data for a reliable estimate. Galvanized steel isn't lead itself, but a line installed downstream of a lead gooseneck or connector can leach lead particles trapped in its rough interior even after the original lead pipe is gone — federal guidance treats it with the same urgency as a confirmed lead line.
| # | Area | Galvanized | % of addresses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kearney | 51 | 4.9% |
| 2 | Norfolk | 1,600 | 2.2% |
| 3 | Grand Island | 260 | 1.5% |
