MUSCOY MWC NO. 1 Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
MUSCOY MWC NO. 1 serves approximately 13,000 people in California. The system draws from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, MUSCOY MWC NO. 1 has not completed a public lead service line inventory. This means the utility has not yet identified and documented how many lead service lines connect homes to the water main in its service area.
California water systems are required to complete lead service line inventories and make them publicly available. If your water system hasn't finished this work yet, it's still worth taking steps to protect your household.
What You Can Do Now
Even without a full inventory, you have options:
Contact your water utility directly. Ask MUSCOY MWC NO. 1 whether your specific address has a known lead service line. They may have partial records or historical information that isn't yet in a public database.
Request a water test. If you're concerned about lead in your tap water, ask your utility for a free or low-cost test kit. Lead levels can vary significantly between homes depending on your plumbing and water chemistry.
Know your home's age and plumbing. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead service lines or lead-containing solder. If you know your home's construction date, that's a helpful starting point.
Use a certified water filter. For drinking and cooking water, a NSF-certified filter rated for lead can provide an extra layer of protection while you wait for inventory data. Replace filters according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Health and Lead
Lead exposure, especially in children, can affect learning and development. If you have concerns about lead in your water or your family's health, talk to your pediatrician or contact your local health department. For general information, the CDC has resources on lead and water safety.

Frequently asked
Does my water system have lead service lines?
MUSCOY MWC NO. 1 has not yet published a complete lead service line inventory. Contact the utility directly with your address to ask whether a lead line serves your home.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead lines. Your utility may have records, or you can hire a plumber to inspect the line where it enters your home. A magnet test can help—lead is not magnetic, but the outer sheathing often is.
Is lead in water dangerous?
Lead has no safe level. Even small amounts can affect children's brain development. Talk to your pediatrician about your specific situation or visit the CDC website for guidance.
What can I do right now to reduce lead exposure?
Use a NSF-certified filter rated for lead on taps where you drink or cook. Flush your pipes each morning before use. Request a free or low-cost water test from your utility.
