LEWISBURG WATER ASSOCIATION Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
Lewisburg Water Association serves approximately 9,390 people in Mississippi. The utility draws water from groundwater sources.
Lead service line inventory status
The utility has not yet completed a public inventory of lead service lines.
As of now, there is no available data on how many lead service lines connect homes to Lewisburg Water Association's system. This doesn't mean lead pipes aren't present—it means the utility has not yet surveyed and documented them.
Under federal law, all US water systems must maintain an inventory of lead service lines and make it available to the public by October 2024 (with some extensions possible). Lewisburg Water Association may still be working on this inventory.
What you can do
Contact your utility directly. Call or email Lewisburg Water Association and ask:
- Do they have a lead service line inventory available yet?
- Does your property address have a lead service line?
- What is their plan and timeline for testing and replacement?
If your home was built before 1986, the risk of a lead service line is higher. Even if you don't have a lead service line, your home's interior plumbing may contain lead solder or brass fittings.
Protecting your water in the meantime
- Have your water tested if you're concerned. Your utility can refer you to a certified lab, or contact your Mississippi state health department.
- Flush your pipes each morning if water sits unused overnight (let water run for 30 seconds to a few minutes).
- Use cold water for drinking and cooking. Hot water leaches lead faster than cold.
- If you have young children or are pregnant, discuss testing with your pediatrician or doctor.
Next steps for residents
- Contact Lewisburg Water Association to ask about their lead service line inventory status
- Request testing if you suspect lead pipes or want peace of mind
- If you have a lead service line, inquire about replacement assistance programs (some utilities offer cost-sharing)

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have a lead service line?
Your water utility's inventory is the best source, but you can also contact them directly with your address. An older home (pre-1986) increases the likelihood. A plumber can also visually inspect your service line if it's exposed in your basement or yard.
Is lead in drinking water dangerous?
Lead has no safe level of exposure, especially for children and pregnant people. It can affect brain development and learning. For health concerns, contact your pediatrician or the CDC.
What should I do if I think I have a lead service line?
Contact Lewisburg Water Association to confirm, ask about testing programs, and inquire whether they offer replacement assistance. In the meantime, flush your pipes and use cold water for drinking and cooking.
Can I replace my lead service line myself?
No—service line replacement must be done by licensed professionals and often requires permits. Your water utility can recommend certified contractors and may offer financial assistance programs.
