INDIANA AMERICAN WATER - S. INDIANA
Lead Service Line Inventory
INDIANA AMERICAN WATER - S. INDIANA serves 104,445 people across southern Indiana. Like all U.S. water systems, it is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines (pipes that connect homes to the water main) and share that information with the public.
What we know right now
This utility draws water from groundwater sources. However, no lead service line inventory data is currently available through LeadPipeLookup for this system. This doesn't mean there are no lead lines—it means the utility has not yet published its inventory in a format we can access and display.
Why this matters
Lead service lines are one of the most common sources of lead in drinking water. Water flowing through lead pipes can pick up lead, especially if the water is corrosive or if pipes are old or damaged. Exposure to lead in drinking water poses real health risks, particularly for young children and pregnant people.
What you should do
Contact INDIANA AMERICAN WATER - S. INDIANA directly to ask about:
- Whether your home has a lead service line
- The status of their lead inventory
- Any water testing results for your address
- Corrosion control measures they have in place
You can also ask whether they have received federal funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help replace lead service lines in your area.
Testing your water
If you're concerned about lead, a simple water test can tell you whether lead is present in your tap water right now. The EPA and CDC recommend testing, especially if your home was built before 1986 or if you live in an older neighborhood. Your water utility can often provide guidance on low-cost or free testing.
Next steps for residents

- Request a water test if you have concerns—your utility may offer this free or at low cost
- Learn more about lead and health from the CDC (cdc.gov) or EPA (epa.gov/lead)
