Lead service lines in Lawrenceville, GA

What you need to know

Lawrenceville's water is served by five systems. The largest—Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources—supplies water to approximately 975,000 people in the area. The other four systems serve small commercial facilities (grocery stores and markets).

Currently, no known lead service lines have been reported in any of these systems. However, "no known lead" does not automatically mean there are none. Many water systems across the U.S. have incomplete records of their underground pipes, especially in older neighborhoods. Lead service lines were commonly installed before the 1980s, and some areas still don't have a complete inventory.

Why this matters

Lead service lines are pipes that connect your home to the public water main. If your line contains lead, drinking water can pick up lead particles—especially in older homes or after long periods without water use. Even small amounts of lead in drinking water can pose health risks, particularly for young children and pregnant people.

What Gwinnett County is doing

Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources is the primary water provider for Lawrenceville. If you receive water from this utility, you can ask them directly about:

  • Whether your specific address has a lead service line
  • Their current inventory and testing results
  • Any replacement programs or financial assistance available

The utility is required by federal law to maintain records and provide this information upon request.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility directly. Call Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources and ask if your address has a known or suspected lead service line.
  • Request your water quality report. Every utility publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) that includes lead testing data—ask for this or check their website.
  • Have your water tested if concerned. A certified lab can check your tap water for lead. Your utility may offer free or low-cost testing.
  • Learn about filters and flushing. While you investigate your service line, the CDC website has practical steps to reduce lead exposure from tap water.
