Lead Service Lines in Olive Branch, MS

What you need to know

Olive Branch serves about 64,500 residents across four water systems. The largest is the City of Olive Branch, which provides water to roughly 54,000 people. The other three systems serve smaller populations in surrounding areas.

Right now, there's no publicly reported data on how many lead service lines exist in any of these systems. That doesn't mean there are none—it means the inventories either haven't been completed or haven't been made public yet.

Lead service lines are pipes that carry water from the main water line under the street to your home. If your house was built before the 1980s, there's a higher chance your service line contains lead. Lead can leach into drinking water, especially if the water is acidic or hasn't sat in pipes for a while.

Why this matters

Lead exposure can affect brain development in children and cause other health problems at any age. Even small amounts matter. If you're concerned about your family's exposure, talk to your pediatrician or contact the CDC.

Finding information about your water system

Contact your local water utility to ask:

  • Does my home have a lead service line?
  • What testing have you done for lead in the water itself?
  • Do you have a lead service line inventory I can review?

City of Olive Branch: MS0170015 Lewisburg Water Association: MS0170011 Lewisburg-Ingrams Mill North: MS0170049 Pleasant Petroleum Group LLC: MS0470111

Your utility can tell you whether they've identified lead service lines in your neighborhood and what steps they're taking to address them.

What you can do now

Even without knowing your service line material, you can reduce lead exposure by flushing your pipes and using cold water for drinking and cooking. The CDC has simple, free guidance on this.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility with your address and ask about your service line.
  • Request their lead service line inventory or latest testing results for lead in drinking water.
  • Flush cold water from your tap for 30 seconds before drinking, especially if water hasn't been used for several hours.
  • Have your water tested if you want specific numbers; your utility may offer free or low-cost testing.
