Lead Service Lines in Logan, WV

What you need to know

Logan's water is served by 8 public water systems, including Logan County Public Service District's Northern Regional system (serving 16,921 people) and the City of Logan Water Board (serving 3,535 people). Together, these systems deliver water to all 28,923 residents in the area.

The challenge: none of these water systems have publicly reported their lead service line inventories yet. Lead service lines are underground pipes that connect your home to the main water line. Lead can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older plumbing.

Why this matters

Lead exposure has no safe level, particularly for children and pregnant women. If your home was built before 1986—when lead pipes were still common—there's a higher chance your service line contains lead. Even if your water tests safe at the treatment plant, it can pick up lead as it travels through old pipes to your house.

What Logan utilities are doing

West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection requires all public water systems to develop and submit lead service line inventories. Logan's eight utilities are working on this requirement, but their findings aren't yet public. This is normal; many utilities across the country are still completing their surveys.

How to find out about your home

Contact your water utility directly—they can tell you:

  • Whether your service line is lead, galvanized steel, or copper
  • What your tap water tests show for lead
  • What free or discounted testing options exist

The top utility in Logan is Logan County PSD - Northern Regional (PWSID: WV3302364). Other major systems include Logan County PSD - Greenville System, City of Logan Water Board, Logan County PSD - Crawley Creek, and West Logan Water Co.

Next steps for residents

  • Call your water utility and ask about your service line material and any lead testing results for your address
  • Request a free water test if your utility offers one, or use an EPA-certified lab
  • If your home has a lead service line, the CDC recommends flushing your tap before drinking and using a certified water filter (look for NSF/ANSI 53 certification for lead removal)
  • Check back as utilities complete their inventories—findings will become public over the next few years

Common questions

Does Logan WV have lead in the water?

Logan's water systems haven't yet released their lead service line inventories, so there's no citywide count. However, homes built before 1986 are at higher risk of having lead pipes. Contact your water utility to find out about your specific service line and get your water tested.

How do I know if my house has a lead service line?

Call your water utility with your address. They can tell you the material of your service line. You can also hire a plumber to inspect it, or get a water test to see if lead is present in your tap water.

Is it safe to drink tap water in Logan, WV?

Logan's water systems test for lead and other contaminants at the treatment plant. However, lead can enter water through old pipes after treatment. If you're concerned, request a free test from your utility or use an EPA-certified lab, and consider a certified water filter if you have an older home.

What should I do if my water tests positive for lead?

Use a water filter certified for lead removal (NSF/ANSI 53), flush your tap for 30 seconds before drinking, and contact your water utility about longer-term solutions like service line replacement. For health concerns, talk to your doctor or call the CDC.
