MONTGOMERY WW&SSB, CITY OF — Lead Service Line Inventory
MONTGOMERY WW&SSB, CITY OF serves approximately 276,000 people in Alabama. Like all US water utilities, it is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines — the underground pipes that carry water from the main line to homes and buildings.
What we know about this water system
This utility draws from surface water sources. As of now, no lead service line inventory data is publicly available through LeadPipeLookup or the utility's posted materials. This doesn't mean there are no lead lines in the system; it means the inventory has either not been completed, not been published online, or the information was not accessible at the time this page was updated.
Why this matters
Lead service lines can leach lead into drinking water, particularly in older homes and when water is corrosive. Even small amounts of lead exposure can affect children's development. If you live in an older neighborhood (pre-1980s), your home is more likely to have a lead service line.
How to find out about your home
Your best step is to contact MONTGOMERY WW&SSB, CITY OF directly. Ask:
- Whether your address has a known lead service line
- If an inventory is available online
- What testing or inspection options they offer
- Whether replacement programs or funding are available
You can also have your water tested for lead. The utility can provide guidance on certified testing labs, or contact your local health department.
What happens next
Alabama, like other states, is working to update lead service line inventories under the federal Lead and Copper Rule. The utility may publish more complete data in coming months or years. Check back periodically, or ask the utility directly about their timeline.
