Providers generally recommend it for a period after the swap, as the disturbance releases particles. The rating matters here, so check that the cartridge is meant for lead. Flushing guidance from the provider closes out the job properly.

It remains the owner's pipe, and it is not swapped automatically when the public side is. Doing both halves while the trench is open is usually simpler than opening the same ground twice. The provider's program documents spell out the covered portion, so ask for them.

Your water provider can usually arrange or advise on a test, and many run sampling programs for homes with known lead lines. Independent laboratories will also take a sample. A test tells you about the water, while the line inventory tells you about the pipe.

Check the first few feet inside the building, where the material is usually still original. Neither check settles it if that visible section was already swapped for copper. Water providers keep line inventories now, so yours may already have the address on file.

It is, because cold ground shifts and contracts around pipe that is already thin from corrosion. Joints that were fine in warm ground begin to seep once the freeze reaches them. Pressure that falls off in the cold and recovers in spring points the same direction.
