Lead Service Lines in Moore, OK

Moore's four water systems serve about 55,500 residents. According to current inventory data, no known lead service lines have been identified in the city.

That said, "unknown" doesn't mean "zero risk." Many water systems across the US—including those in Oklahoma—have not yet completed full inventories of their pipes. Service lines installed before the 1980s are more likely to contain lead, which can leach into drinking water, especially in homes with older plumbing.

What you should know

Moore Public Works Authority serves the vast majority of the city (about 55,083 residents). Three smaller systems—Skulls Unlimited International, Royal Bavaria, and Q Mart—serve businesses and smaller populations.

None of these systems have reported confirmed lead service lines to date. However, inventory work is ongoing nationwide. If your home was built before 1980 and you're concerned about lead exposure, the safest approach is to:

  • Get your water tested for lead (contact Moore Public Works Authority for a testing kit or recommendation)
  • Check your home's age and plumbing history if available
  • Use cold water for drinking and cooking, since hot water corrodes pipes faster and can carry more lead

Lead exposure is a real health concern—especially for young children and pregnant people—but it's also preventable with the right information and steps.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact Moore Public Works Authority (the city's main water utility) to ask about your service line material and request a free or low-cost lead test
  • Review your home's documentation to learn when it was built and whether original plumbing is in place
  • If results show lead, ask your utility about treatment options (water filters, line replacement programs, or corrosion control)
  • Keep an eye on updates from your water system about ongoing lead inventory work

Common questions

Does Moore, OK have lead in the water?

Moore's water systems have not identified any known lead service lines to date. However, not all pipes have been fully inventoried yet. The best way to know if your home is affected is to test your water and check your service line material with Moore Public Works Authority.

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

Contact Moore Public Works Authority with your address; they can tell you what material your service line is made of. You can also look at your home's age (built before 1980 is higher risk) and have a plumber inspect the visible pipes in your basement or crawlspace.

Is it safe to drink tap water in Moore, Oklahoma?

Moore's water systems test for safety and comply with federal standards. If you're concerned about lead specifically, request a free lead test from your utility. Using cold water for drinking and cooking, and flushing your tap in the morning, can also reduce exposure risk.

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

Contact Moore Public Works Authority immediately to discuss next steps. Options may include point-of-use filters, utility-funded line replacement, or other treatment. For health concerns, consult your pediatrician or the CDC website.
