Lead Service Line Inventory for WOOD CREEK WATER DISTRICT

WOOD CREEK WATER DISTRICT serves about 14,892 people in Kentucky. Like all US water systems, the district is required by federal law to identify and report on lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to homes.

What you're looking at

This page shows what WOOD CREEK WATER DISTRICT has reported about lead service lines in their system. A lead service line is a pipe made of lead (or sometimes lead-containing solder) that carries water from the public water main into your home. Lead can leach into drinking water, especially if the water is corrosive or if the pipes are old and deteriorating.

Current inventory status

WOOD CREEK WATER DISTRICT has not yet completed a full inventory of lead service lines. The district has not reported specific numbers of known lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines at this time. This doesn't mean there are no lead pipes—it means the inventory work is still ongoing or data is not yet available.

What happens next

Water utilities across the country are working to locate and replace lead service lines under federal requirements. WOOD CREEK WATER DISTRICT is part of this effort. Depending on the district's timeline and resources, they will:

• Conduct a complete search of service line materials in their system
• Share findings with the public
• Develop a replacement plan (if lead lines are found)
• Begin replacement work, often prioritizing homes with children under 6 or pregnant residents

How to find out if your home has a lead service line

Contact WOOD CREEK WATER DISTRICT directly. You can ask them:

• Whether your specific address has a known or suspected lead service line
• What the district's timeline is for completing their inventory
• Whether any replacement programs are currently available
• If water testing or filters are recommended for your home

The district's responsibility is to find these pipes and tell you if yours is one of them. You have a right to know.

If you're concerned about lead in your water

The CDC recommends testing your water if you're worried about lead exposure. A simple test costs $25–$50 and can tell you whether lead is present. If you have young children, elderly household members, or are pregnant, this information is especially important.
