LANGFORD WATER ASSOCIATION Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
Langford Water Association serves approximately 4,013 people in Mississippi. The system draws water from groundwater sources.
Lead service line inventory status
As of now, Langford Water Association has not completed a lead service line inventory. This means the utility has not yet identified which homes are connected to the water main through lead pipes—or documented that they don't have any.
Federal law requires all water systems to complete this inventory by October 2024. If your utility hasn't finished, they are working toward that deadline or may have submitted their plan for how and when they'll do it.
What this means for your home
If you live in the Langford Water Association service area, you don't yet know from the official inventory whether your home has a lead service line. Lead service lines are the pipes that run from the water main in the street to your home. They were commonly installed before 1986.
You can still take steps now:
- Contact the water utility directly to ask about your address. Even without a complete inventory, they may have older records that show your line material.
- If you're renting, ask your landlord or property manager.
- Have your water tested by a certified lab. A test shows if lead is present in your water right now, which depends on both the pipes and your home's plumbing. Testing costs $20–50 and takes a few days.
Funding for replacement
Information about whether Langford Water Association has received funding for lead line replacement is not yet available here. Contact the utility directly to ask about replacement programs, timelines, or assistance for low-income households.

Frequently asked
Does Langford Water Association have lead service lines?
The utility has not yet completed its lead service line inventory, so this information isn't available yet. Contact them directly with your address to ask about your specific home, or have your water tested.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Call Langford Water Association with your address—they may have older records. You can also look at the pipe where it enters your home (usually in the basement or crawlspace) or hire a plumber to inspect it. Lead is soft, gray, and dents easily with a fingernail.
What should I do if I'm worried about lead in my water?
Have your water tested by a certified lab (usually $20–50). In the meantime, run cold water for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking, and use cold water for drinking and cooking—hot water pulls more lead from pipes.
Is there help paying to replace a lead service line?
Some utilities offer replacement programs or help for low-income households. Contact Langford Water Association directly to ask what's available in your area.
