Part 2: Locate your water service line.

The potable water service line comes into each residence from the street and it is typically found on the lowest level or in the garage. The pipe enters through the foundation or slab near the master shut-off valve. Identify a test area on the pipe between the point where it enters the foundation or slab and the master shut-off valve. If the pipe is covered or wrapped, expose a small area before proceeding to the next step.

Yes

Part 3: Perform a scratch test.

Scratch test instructions: Use the coin, key, or another tool to carefully scratch the pipe (like you would a lottery ticket). If the line is painted, you may need sandpaper to clear a small area.

If the pipe is visibly plastic, you do not have to perform the scratch test.
