CITY CORPORATION Lead Service Line Inventory
CITY CORPORATION serves approximately 29,260 people in Arkansas. Like all US water utilities, it is required by federal law to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to homes.
What is a lead service line?
A lead service line is a pipe made entirely or partly of lead that carries drinking water from the public water main into your home. These lines were commonly installed before 1986, when lead was banned from new plumbing materials. Lead can leach into your water, especially if the water is corrosive or sits in the pipe for hours.
What we know about CITY CORPORATION's inventory
CITY CORPORATION has not yet completed its lead service line inventory. The utility has not reported data on how many lines are known to be lead, non-lead, galvanized, or unknown. This does not mean the system is unsafe—it means the inventory work is still underway.
Federal rules require all utilities to finish their inventories and make the information publicly available. You can contact CITY CORPORATION directly to ask about their timeline and current progress.
How to find out if your home has a lead service line
Your water utility can tell you whether your property has a lead service line. The best way to find out is to contact CITY CORPORATION directly and ask about your specific address. You can also:
- Look at your property deed or title—sometimes it notes the service line material
- Ask a licensed plumber to inspect the line where it enters your home (lead is soft and dull gray; copper is reddish; galvanized steel is silver with a spiral seam)
If you're concerned about lead in your water
The CDC recommends that families with young children or pregnant women take lead seriously. If you want to know your water's lead level, ask CITY CORPORATION for a free or low-cost water test. You can also use a certified lab (find one through your state health department).
