What we know about lead in Orlando

None of the major Orlando water systems have reported known lead service lines in their current inventories. However, this doesn't mean lead pipes aren't present—it means either they haven't been identified yet, or the data hasn't been made public. Florida requires public water systems to create and maintain a lead service line inventory, but utilities vary in how thoroughly they've surveyed their pipes.

Lead service lines are metal pipes that connect your home's water meter to the main water line under the street. Water can pick up lead as it travels through these pipes, especially if the water is corrosive or if pipes are old and deteriorating.

What you should do now

Contact your water utility directly and ask:

  • Whether your address is served by a lead service line
  • What their current lead service line inventory shows
  • If they offer free or reduced-cost testing of your tap water

Your utility is required to provide this information. If they don't have definitive answers, ask about their timeline for completing a full inventory.

If you're concerned about your water

A water test is the only way to know if lead is present in your home's tap water. Many utilities offer free testing kits, or you can use a certified lab. The CDC recommends that pregnant people, young children, and those with weakened immune systems take extra precautions—speak with your pediatrician or doctor for guidance.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility using the list below and ask about your address's service line material
  • Request a free water test if your utility offers one, or find a certified lab in your area
  • Check your utility's lead service line inventory online if available—ask your utility where to find it
  • Talk to your doctor if you have health concerns, especially if you have young children in the home

Common questions

Does Orlando have lead in the water?

Orlando's major water utilities have not reported known lead service lines in their inventories. However, lead can still be present in individual homes' pipes. Only a water test of your tap water will tell you if lead is actually reaching your home.

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

Contact your water utility and ask about your address. They're required to have a lead service line inventory. You can also hire a plumber to inspect the pipe connecting your meter to the main line under the street—lead pipes are soft, gray, and dull.

Is it safe to drink water from a lead service line?

Lead can leach into water traveling through old pipes, especially if your water is corrosive or the pipe is deteriorating. A water test is the only way to know if lead is actually in your tap water. If you're pregnant or have young children, speak with your doctor about precautions.
