BUTTS COUNTY/JACKSON/JENKINSBURG WS Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
BUTTS COUNTY/JACKSON/JENKINSBURG WS serves 31,171 people across parts of Georgia. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and inventory lead service lines—the pipes that connect the main water line under the street to homes and buildings.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This water system has not yet completed or made public a lead service line inventory. No data is currently available about how many lead, galvanized, or unknown pipes serve this area.
If you live in this service area, that does not mean your home has a lead service line—only that the utility has not yet catalogued the inventory publicly. Many homes in this region likely have safe non-lead pipes.
What You Can Do Now
Contact your water utility directly. Call or email BUTTS COUNTY/JACKSON/JENKINSBURG WS to ask:
- Whether your specific address has a lead service line
- When the full inventory will be available
- What actions the utility is taking to replace lead lines
- Whether free testing or treatment programs are available
You can also request a water quality report (called a Consumer Confidence Report) from the utility, which includes information about lead testing results.
If You're Concerned About Lead
If you want to know whether lead is present in your tap water right now, the cheapest option is a home test kit ($10–20 at hardware stores). For more detailed results, contact your local health department about low-cost or free testing.
For health questions—especially if you have young children or are pregnant—talk to your pediatrician or call the CDC at 1-800-CDC-INFO.

Frequently asked
Does my water have lead in it?
We don't have current test data for this system yet. Contact BUTTS COUNTY/JACKSON/JENKINSBURG WS directly, or buy a home test kit to check your tap water. Your water utility should also have a Consumer Confidence Report online with recent lead test results.
How do I know if I have a lead service line?
The only certain way is to contact your water utility and ask about your specific address. You can also look at the pipe connection where water enters your home—lead is soft and gray, and a magnet won't stick to it. If you're unsure, ask a plumber.
Is lead in water dangerous?
Lead is a serious health risk, especially for young children and pregnant people. Talk to your pediatrician or doctor about your specific situation. The CDC has detailed information on lead exposure at cdc.gov.
What should I do if I think I have a lead service line?
Contact your water utility about replacement programs or assistance. In the meantime, run your tap for 30 seconds before drinking, use cold water for drinking and cooking, and consider a water filter certified for lead removal.
