VILONIA WATERWORKS Lead Service Line Inventory
Vilonia Waterworks serves about 24,690 people in Arkansas. Like all U.S. water systems, it is required by federal law to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to individual homes.
What is a lead service line?
A lead service line is a water pipe made partly or entirely of lead. These pipes were common in homes built before the 1980s. When lead-contaminated water sits in the pipe, small amounts of lead can dissolve into your drinking water. The EPA and CDC have determined there is no safe level of lead in drinking water.
What we know about Vilonia Waterworks
Vilonia Waterworks has not yet reported lead service line inventory data to the public. This does not mean the system is unsafe—it means the inventory is still being completed or has not been made available through this directory. Federal rules require water systems to maintain these records, but timelines for public disclosure vary.
The system draws its water from surface sources, such as rivers or reservoirs.
How to find your system's lead service line status
Contact Vilonia Waterworks directly to:
- Ask whether your home has a lead service line
- Request a copy of the system's lead service line inventory
- Ask about any lead reduction measures the system has in place
- Find out if you qualify for assistance with line replacement
You can also ask for the system's most recent annual water quality report (called a Consumer Confidence Report), which includes information about lead testing results.
If you're concerned about lead in your water
If you have a young child in your home or are pregnant, talk to your pediatrician or healthcare provider about lead exposure. The CDC offers evidence-based guidance on reducing lead risk at home, including flushing your tap before use and using cold water for drinking and cooking.
A simple first step is a water test. Inexpensive home lead test kits are available online and at hardware stores. If results show lead above 15 ppb (parts per billion), contact your utility and consider having your service line inspected.
