HCWRC/PEBBLE CREEK SUBDIVISION Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
HCWRC/PEBBLE CREEK SUBDIVISION serves approximately 4,757 people in Florida. The system draws from surface water sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This water system has not yet published a lead service line inventory. As of our last update, no data on the number of lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines was available.
Under the revised Lead and Copper Rule (effective 2024), all water systems must complete an inventory of their service lines and identify which ones contain lead or are galvanized steel by October 2024. Even if your system has not published this information yet, they are required to create it and should be working on it now.
What This Means for You
If you live in this service area, you may not know whether your home has a lead service line. A lead service line is the pipe that connects your home to the public water main. Lead lines were commonly installed before the 1980s but can exist in any era home.
Lead in drinking water comes primarily from service lines and household plumbing—not from the water treatment process itself. Even low levels of lead exposure can be harmful, especially for children and pregnant people.
What You Can Do
Contact your water utility directly. Ask them:
- Does my address have a lead service line?
- When will they publish their full inventory?
- What assistance is available if my line contains lead?
Get your water tested. You can arrange a free or low-cost lead test through your local health department or use a certified lab. Testing is the only way to know if lead is actually in your tap water.
Use interim protection. If you're concerned about lead while awaiting results, flush your cold-water tap for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking, and use only cold water for cooking and baby formula. Hot water can increase lead leaching from pipes.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact HCWRC/PEBBLE CREEK SUBDIVISION (PWSID: FL6291372) to ask about your specific address and their inventory timeline.
- Request a free water test from your county health department or a state-certified laboratory.
- Check the EPA's page on lead in drinking water for more prevention steps.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
The only certain way is to contact your water utility and ask about your specific address. You can also visually inspect the pipe where it enters your home—lead is a soft, dull gray metal that scratches easily. For definitive identification, hire a plumber or contact your utility.
Is lead in my water dangerous?
Lead has no safe level of exposure. It can harm the brain and kidneys, especially in children and during pregnancy. The best protection is removing or replacing lead service lines. For immediate concerns about health effects, contact your pediatrician or the CDC.
Why hasn't my water system published their lead line inventory yet?
All systems are required to complete inventories by October 2024 under new EPA rules. Your system may still be collecting data. Contact them directly to ask their timeline.
Can I get my lead service line replaced for free?
Some federal and state funding is available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and state programs. Contact your water utility to ask what assistance is available in your area and whether you qualify.
