Service Line Inventory:
Lanesborough Fire and Water District is conducting a service line inventory in order to determine the type of material used for each home/ business water line, and to identify any outdated pipes that need to be replaced. Every household within the Water District will need to have their water line assessed for the inventory. You can inspect on your own and submit the information by following the link below, or schedule an appointment to have an inspection.

​
Customers in Berkshire Village are already included in the inventory because their service line connections are so new, and do not need to self inspect or schedule an inspection.
