Lead Service Lines in Conway, SC

What you need to know

Conway's 11 water systems serve about 328,000 people. Currently, there are no confirmed lead service lines reported in the available inventory data. However, this doesn't mean lead pipes aren't present—it means the utilities either haven't completed their surveys yet or haven't reported their findings publicly.

Lead service lines are pipes that connect your home to the water main. They were commonly installed before 1986, when federal regulations began phasing them out. If your home was built or had plumbing work done before the 1990s, there's a chance you have one.

Why this matters

Lead can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older plumbing or in areas with corrosive water. Even small amounts matter—there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. If you're concerned about your family's water, testing is the most reliable way to know.

Your water utilities

The largest systems serving Conway are:

  • GSW&SA (252,840 people served)
  • City of Conway (27,005 people served)
  • Bucksport Water Company (17,123 people served)
  • Conway Rural (12,740 people served)
  • GSW&SA–Marion City of (9,104 people served)

All five systems have not yet reported detailed lead service line inventories to the state. This is not unusual—many utilities are still completing their surveys under EPA requirements.

How to find out if you have a lead service line

1. Contact your water utility directly. Ask if your address has a known or suspected lead service line. The utility can look up your property in their records. 2. Check your property deed or plumbing records from when your house was built or renovated. 3. Get your water tested. A simple test costs $15–$50 and tells you if lead is present in your tap water right now.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility and ask about your service line material—use the utility names and phone numbers listed above.
  • If you want to test your water, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) can direct you to certified labs.
  • Read your water utility's annual water quality report (available free on their website) for more details on lead testing results.
  • For health concerns, consult your pediatrician or the CDC's guidance on lead exposure.
