JEA: LOFTON OAKS GRID — Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
JEA: LOFTON OAKS GRID serves 24,318 people in Florida. The system draws from groundwater sources.
Lead service line inventory status
This water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. This means JEA has not publicly released a count of how many lead pipes may be connected to homes and businesses in this service area.
Federal law now requires all US water systems to identify and map lead service lines by 2024 (with some extensions possible). Your utility is required to complete this work, but the timeline and findings may still be in progress.
What this means for your home
Without a published inventory, you won't know from this directory whether your home has a lead service line. Lead service lines are most common in homes built before 1986, especially in older neighborhoods. If your home was built before the late 1980s, there's a higher chance your connection includes lead pipes.
The only way to know for certain is to:
- Ask your water utility directly — they may have records or can schedule a free inspection of your underground water line.
- Check your home's age and construction records — older homes in this service area are at higher risk.
If you have young children or are pregnant, the CDC recommends testing your water for lead regardless of pipe age. Lead exposure can affect child development, and there's no safe level of lead in drinking water.
Getting more information
Contact JEA directly to ask about:
- Whether your address is on their lead service line inventory (when complete)
- Free or reduced-cost water testing
- Replacement programs or financial assistance for lead line removal
- Whether your home's water line has been inspected
You can also request a copy of the utility's lead service line inventory plan to see their timeline for completion.
Next steps for residents
- Call or email JEA to ask if your address has a known or suspected lead service line.
- If your home was built before 1986, consider requesting a free water test from your utility or using an EPA-certified lab.
- Review your utility bill — many water systems include inventory updates or lead education materials.
- Talk to your pediatrician if you have young children and are concerned about lead exposure.
