DOUGLASVILLE-DOUGLAS COUNTY WSA Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
Douglasville-Douglas County WSA serves approximately 127,084 people in Georgia. The system draws from surface water sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
The utility has not yet completed an inventory of lead service lines in the system. As of now, no data on lead service line counts is publicly available.
Federal law requires all US water systems to complete a lead service line inventory by October 2024. Systems must identify which pipes are lead, which are galvanized steel (which may contain lead), and which are other materials. This inventory is the first step toward replacing dangerous pipes.
Why This Matters
Lead service lines—the pipes connecting the water main to homes—are a direct source of lead contamination. Even "low" lead levels matter, especially for children and pregnant people. If your home was built before 1950, or if you're unsure what your service line is made of, this inventory will help you understand your risk.
What to Do Now
Your water system is required to share its inventory with the public once it's complete. You can contact the utility directly to:
- Ask about the timeline for completing the inventory
- Request information about your specific property's service line material
- Find out if you qualify for free or subsidized replacement programs
Many water systems have federal funding available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help replace lead service lines at no cost to homeowners.
