What we know about lead service lines in Henderson

Public records show zero confirmed lead service lines reported in Henderson's inventories. The water systems serving the area have also reported zero galvanized lines (a material that can contain lead solder) and zero unknown materials.

Why lead service lines matter

A lead service line is the pipe that connects your home to the water main beneath the street. If lead is present, it can leach into your drinking water—especially if water is corrosive or acidic. Even small amounts of lead exposure can affect children's development.

If you live in an older home in Henderson, your service line could be made of lead, even if it's not listed in public records.

How to find out about your own home

The best way to know what's underground at your address is to contact Henderson City of directly. They maintain service line records by property. You can ask:

  • What material is my service line made of?
  • When was it installed?
  • Has it been tested or replaced?

You can also have your water tested for lead. A certified lab test costs $20–50 and tells you what's actually in your water at that moment.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility: Call Henderson City of or check their website to ask about your service line material.
  • Test your water: Order a lead test through a certified lab if you want confirmation of what's in your tap water.
  • Check your home's age: If you live in a pre-1986 home, ask your utility about service line replacement programs (some offer cost-sharing).
  • Learn more: Visit the EPA's lead and copper rule page or call the CDC for health questions about lead exposure.
