JOHNSON CO RWD 7 Lead Service Line Inventory
JOHNSON CO RWD 7 serves approximately 6,457 people in Kansas. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and track lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to individual homes.
What we know about this water system
This water system has not yet completed a public inventory of lead service lines. That means the utility has not published a count of how many homes have lead pipes, how many have other materials, or how many remain unknown.
This is not unusual. Many smaller water systems across the country are still in the process of testing and documenting their pipe materials. It takes time, money, and coordination with homeowners to inspect underground pipes.
What this means for your home
If you live in JOHNSON CO RWD 7's service area, you cannot yet check an official list to learn whether your home has a lead service line. Your best options are:
1. Contact the utility directly. Ask if they have any information about your specific address. Even if a full inventory isn't public yet, they may have records from past work or testing. 2. Have the water at your tap tested. A simple test (available from your local health department or online) can tell you if lead is present. This is not the same as knowing if you have a lead pipe—corrosion, water chemistry, and other factors affect what you'll find in the water itself. 3. Check your home's paperwork. If you own the home, building permits or inspection records from construction or renovation might note pipe materials.
Federal funding for replacement
Water systems received billions in federal funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to replace lead service lines. Information about whether JOHNSON CO RWD 7 received this funding and what their replacement timeline looks like is not currently available on this directory. Contact the utility for details.
