EAST MADISON WATER ASSN-WEST Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
EAST MADISON WATER ASSN-WEST serves 7,339 people in Mississippi. Like all US water systems, it is required by the EPA to inventory lead service lines—the pipes that connect the main water line under the street to homes.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. No data has been publicly reported about how many lead, galvanized, or unknown pipes serve this system.
This does not mean your home is safe or unsafe. It means the utility is still in the process of identifying which homes have lead service lines, which is a multi-year effort for many smaller systems.
What You Should Do Now
Contact your water utility directly to ask:
- Whether your address has a known lead service line
- What the utility's timeline is for completing the full inventory
- What testing and treatment steps they recommend in the meantime
You can reach EAST MADISON WATER ASSN-WEST through your water bill or by searching for the utility's contact information online.
If You're Concerned About Lead Exposure
If you have young children or are pregnant, the CDC recommends testing your water. A simple lab test (often $20–30) can tell you if lead is present at your tap. Your local health department can usually point you to an approved lab.
Lead in drinking water is a serious but preventable health issue. Getting your water tested is the fastest way to know your actual risk.

Frequently asked
Does EAST MADISON WATER ASSN-WEST have lead pipes?
The utility has not yet completed its lead service line inventory, so specific numbers aren't available. Contact the utility to ask about your address specifically.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Call your water utility and give them your address. They should tell you what material your service line is made of, or when they expect to have that information. You can also have a plumber inspect the pipe outside your home.
Is it safe to drink water from a lead pipe?
Lead can leach into drinking water from lead pipes, especially in homes with acidic water or stagnant pipes. The safest step is to test your water. The CDC has guidance on reducing lead exposure.
How much does it cost to replace a lead service line?
Replacement costs vary widely ($3,000–$25,000+) depending on your area and how deep the line is buried. Ask your utility about any grant programs or cost-sharing assistance available.
