Lead Service Lines in Moncks Corner, SC

Lead service lines are pipes made of lead that connect a home to the public water main under the street. Water flowing through lead pipes can pick up lead, which is a serious health concern—especially for children and pregnant people.

What we know about Moncks Corner

The Moncks Corner area is served by 19 different water systems. Together, they serve approximately 118,405 people. According to the most recent available data, no known lead service lines have been identified in the area's water systems. However, this does not mean lead lines are absent—it means utilities either have not yet completed their inventories or have not reported findings publicly.

Three utilities serve the bulk of the population:

  • BCWSA Sangaree W/D serves 95,345 people
  • BCWSA East Cooper serves 12,933 people
  • City of Moncks Corner serves 8,956 people

Why the numbers matter

If a utility's inventory shows "unknown," they are still in the process of identifying which homes have lead service lines. This is normal—South Carolina utilities have been conducting these inventories in phases. An incomplete inventory does not mean your home is safe; it means the utility hasn't confirmed one way or the other yet.

What you can do

Your water system is required by federal law to maintain a publicly available inventory of lead service lines. This inventory should tell you whether your specific address has a known lead line, a galvanized line (which can also release lead), or neither.

If your utility's inventory is incomplete, you can still take protective steps: use cold water for drinking and cooking (lead leaches more readily from hot water), flush your pipes before using water, and consider testing your water if you have young children or are pregnant.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility to ask about the lead service line status at your specific address. Use the utility name and phone number listed below.
  • Request a copy of your utility's lead service line inventory if you want to see the broader picture for your area.
  • Test your water if you're concerned, or consult your pediatrician if you have health questions about lead exposure.
  • Visit the EPA's website for guidance on reducing lead in drinking water at home.
