LAMAR PARK WATER & SEWAGE ASSN Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
LAMAR PARK WATER & SEWAGE ASSN serves 7,714 people in Mississippi. The utility draws water from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, LAMAR PARK WATER & SEWAGE ASSN has not yet completed a lead service line inventory—no lines have been surveyed or classified. This is common: many smaller water systems are still in the early stages of mapping their infrastructure.
A lead service line inventory is a list that identifies which customer connections contain lead pipes. Federal rules require all water systems to complete and maintain this inventory, though timelines vary by system size.
What You Can Do Right Now
If you're concerned about lead in your water:
- Contact the utility directly at LAMAR PARK WATER & SEWAGE ASSN to ask about your specific address. Even without a complete inventory, they may have records of your line's material.
- Request a water test. Your water utility can tell you if free or low-cost testing is available.
- Use a filter certified to remove lead (NSF 53 or NSF 58 certification) on drinking and cooking water while you await more information.
- Check the CDC website for guidance on lead in drinking water, especially if you have children under 6 or are pregnant.
How Inventories Work
Lead service lines are the pipes that carry water from the street main into your home. Because lead can leach into water—especially in homes with acidic water or stagnant water—knowing whether your line is lead is important. Once a system completes its inventory, it must update it regularly and share findings with the public.
Systems without completed inventories are typically working toward that goal. Funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has accelerated these efforts nationwide.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my service line is lead?
Contact LAMAR PARK WATER & SEWAGE ASSN directly and ask about your address. They may have records even if the full inventory isn't public yet. You can also hire a plumber to inspect the pipe at your meter.
Is my water safe to drink?
Lead gets into water through old pipes, not from the source itself. The best way to know is to test your water. Contact your utility for testing options, and use an NSF 53-certified filter on drinking and cooking water as a precaution.
When will the inventory be done?
LAMAR PARK WATER & SEWAGE ASSN has not yet started the inventory process. Contact the utility to ask about their timeline and plans.
What should I do if I'm worried about lead and my kids?
Get your water tested and consider using a certified filter. Talk to your pediatrician or call the CDC at 1-800-CDC-INFO for guidance on lead exposure in children.
