LAWRENCE WATER WORKS Lead Service Line Inventory
LAWRENCE WATER WORKS serves about 88,900 people in Massachusetts. Like water systems across the US, it may have lead service lines—pipes that connect homes to the main water mains. Lead can leach into drinking water, especially in older homes or when water is corrosive.
What we know about this water system
LAWRENCE WATER WORKS draws from surface water sources. The utility has not yet published a publicly available lead service line inventory on this directory. This does not mean lead service lines don't exist in the system—it means the inventory data is either not yet complete, not yet public, or not yet submitted to this database.
Why inventories matter
Federal law requires water utilities to identify which homes have lead service lines. This helps residents know their risk and take protective steps like testing their water and flushing lines. Inventories are also the foundation for replacement programs that remove lead pipes entirely.
What you can do now
Contact your water utility directly. Call or email LAWRENCE WATER WORKS and ask:
- Do I have a lead service line?
- What is your timeline for completing and publishing the lead service line inventory?
- Are there any current or planned lead service line replacement programs?
- Does the utility offer free or subsidized water testing?
Get your water tested. Even without a known lead service line, testing is the only way to know if lead is in your water right now. Many health departments and water utilities offer free tests.
Know the basics. Lead is most dangerous for young children and pregnant people. If you have concerns about health effects, contact your pediatrician or the CDC.
How LeadPipeLookup works
This directory aggregates lead service line inventory data from public records. As utilities update their inventories and make them publicly available, we add them here. Check back periodically, or contact LAWRENCE WATER WORKS to ask when their inventory will be public.

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have a lead service line?
The most reliable way is to contact LAWRENCE WATER WORKS and ask for your service line material. You can also dig near your home's water meter or where the pipe enters your house—lead is soft and gray. If you're unsure, request a free water test from your utility.
Is lead in drinking water dangerous?
Lead can harm brain development in young children and cause other serious health effects. The best protection is reducing exposure: use cold water for drinking and cooking, flush pipes in the morning, and get your water tested. Talk to your pediatrician about your specific situation.
What should I do if I think I have a lead service line?
Contact LAWRENCE WATER WORKS to confirm your service line material and ask about replacement programs or rebates. In the meantime, flush your pipes before drinking, use a certified lead filter on your tap, and have your water tested by a certified lab.
When will LAWRENCE WATER WORKS publish its lead service line inventory?
Call or email the utility directly to ask about their inventory completion and publication timeline. Federal law requires utilities to identify and publicly report lead service lines, though timelines vary by system.
