LPWD NORTH PRODUCTION FACILITY Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
LPWD NORTH PRODUCTION FACILITY serves about 4,122 people in Louisiana. The system uses groundwater as its primary source.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, this water system has not completed a public lead service line (LSL) inventory—or hasn't made one available online yet. That means we don't have documented counts of how many lead pipes connect homes to the main water line in this service area.
This doesn't mean there are no lead service lines. It means the data either hasn't been compiled, hasn't been submitted to the state, or isn't publicly accessible. Federal regulations require all US water systems to complete lead service line inventories and make findings available to customers by October 2024.
Why This Matters
Lead service lines are a major source of lead in drinking water. Water sitting in a lead pipe overnight or over several hours can pick up lead, especially if water is soft or acidic. Infants, young children, and pregnant people face the highest health risks from lead exposure.
What You Can Do
Contact your water utility directly. Ask them:
- Whether they have completed a lead service line inventory
- If your address is on a lead service line
- What the timeline is for completing and publishing their inventory
- What free or low-cost testing and treatment options are available
Many utilities offer free water testing kits or can connect you with certified labs. Some also provide rebates or funding for service line replacement.
If you're concerned about lead in your tap water, you can:
- Have your water tested by a certified lab (ask your utility for referrals)
- Use a pitcher or faucet filter certified for lead reduction
- Let cold water run for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking if you haven't used that tap in several hours
For health questions—especially if you have young children or are pregnant—contact your doctor or local health department. The CDC also offers guidance on lead and health at cdc.gov.
Next Steps for Residents
- Call your water utility and ask about their lead service line inventory status and findings for your address
- Request a water test if your utility hasn't provided one
- Have your home's water tested by a certified lab if you live in an older building (pre-1986 construction increases risk)
- Talk to your doctor if you have health concerns about lead exposure

Frequently asked
Does LPWD NORTH PRODUCTION FACILITY have lead in the water?
The water system hasn't published a lead service line inventory yet. Lead in drinking water usually comes from old lead pipes, not from the source water itself. Contact the utility to ask about your specific address and get your water tested.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Contact LPWD NORTH PRODUCTION FACILITY and ask them to check their records for your address. You can also have a plumber inspect the pipe that enters your home. Some utilities offer free inspections.
Is it safe to drink water from a lead service line?
Lead can leach into water sitting in lead pipes, especially overnight. Risk is higher for infants, young children, and pregnant people. The best steps are to get your water tested, flush pipes before use, and consider a certified filter until a pipe can be replaced.
How much does it cost to replace a lead service line?
Replacement typically costs $3,000–$25,000 depending on the property. Many utilities offer rebates, payment plans, or grants. Contact LPWD NORTH PRODUCTION FACILITY to ask what financial assistance programs they have.
