EAST END WATER Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
EAST END WATER serves approximately 5,954 people in Arkansas. The system draws from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
EAST END WATER has not yet completed a public lead service line (LSL) inventory. This means the utility has not yet published a count of how many pipes carrying water from the main line to individual homes contain lead.
Federal law requires all water systems to complete and maintain an inventory of lead service lines by October 2024. If EAST END WATER has not published theirs yet, contact the utility directly to ask:
- Whether they have completed an internal inventory
- When they plan to make results public
- What their timeline is for replacing lead service lines (if any are found)
Why This Matters
Lead service lines are a direct pathway for lead to enter your drinking water. Even "low" levels of lead exposure can affect children's brain development. The only way to fully remove this risk is to replace the lead pipe—water filters cannot reliably remove all lead.
If you live in this service area and are concerned about lead in your home's water, you have options now:
- Get your water tested for lead (often free or low-cost through your local health department)
- Use a certified filter while you wait for inventory results or pipe replacement
- Flush the tap before drinking or cooking, especially first thing in the morning
- Contact your utility to ask whether your specific address has a known lead service line
Next Steps for Residents
- Call EAST END WATER and ask for their lead service line inventory status and replacement timeline
- Request a free or low-cost lead test through your local health department
- If you have young children or are pregnant, consult your doctor about testing recommendations
- Check the EPA's "Lead and Your Drinking Water" page for certified filter options

Frequently asked
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
Your water utility maintains records of which properties have lead pipes. Contact EAST END WATER directly and provide your address. They should tell you whether a lead service line is known or suspected at your home.
Is lead in water dangerous for children?
Yes. The CDC reports that lead exposure can harm children's brain development and learning. Even low levels matter. Talk to your pediatrician about testing if you're concerned.
Can I filter out lead at home?
Some filters can reduce lead, but replacement of the lead service line is the only permanent solution. Look for filters certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 53. A water test can verify whether a filter is working.
When will EAST END WATER replace lead service lines?
Contact the utility directly to ask about their replacement plan and timeline. Federal law requires systems to develop a plan by October 2024, but timelines vary by system and funding.
