TRAILS END CAMPGROUND & MOBILE PARK Lead Service Line Inventory
TRAILS END CAMPGROUND & MOBILE PARK serves 150 people in New York. Like all US water systems, it is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that carry water from the main water line under the street into homes and buildings.
What the inventory shows
So far, the system has inventoried 12 service lines:
- 1 confirmed lead service line
- 1 non-lead service line
- 10 unknown materials (status not yet determined)
An unknown service line usually means the material hasn't been confirmed yet through testing, visual inspection, or records review. These are a priority for utilities to identify, since lead exposure is a real risk if lines are not replaced.
What this means for residents
If your home is served by TRAILS END CAMPGROUND & MOBILE PARK, there is at least one known lead service line in the system. The utility should be working to identify the unknown lines and develop a plan to replace lead lines over time.
Lead service lines are the most common source of lead in drinking water. The EPA and CDC recommend that households with known or suspected lead service lines take steps to reduce exposure—primarily by running cold water before use, using a certified lead-removing filter if needed, and having children's blood lead levels checked by a doctor.
What you can do
Contact your water provider directly to learn:
- Whether your specific service line has been tested or identified
- What the utility's replacement timeline looks like
- Whether your home qualifies for assistance programs to help cover replacement costs
New York State and the EPA both offer resources and potential funding to help small water systems and homeowners pay for lead service line replacements.
Next steps for residents
- Contact the utility to ask about your service line's material and any planned testing or replacement.
- Request the full lead service line inventory if it's available online or by request.
- Test your water using an EPA-certified lab if you want additional peace of mind (especially important for households with young children or pregnant people).
- Visit the CDC's lead page for guidance on reducing lead exposure and health testing.

Frequently asked
Is lead service line water dangerous to drink?
Lead can leach into water from lead service lines, especially if water sits in the pipe or if the water chemistry is corrosive. This is a real health risk, particularly for young children and pregnant people. The best approach is to confirm your line's material, use a filter if needed, and flush lines before drinking.
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
Contact your water utility and ask them to check their inventory or send someone to inspect the service line at your property. Many utilities are still completing these inventories. You can also have a licensed plumber inspect it for you.
How much does it cost to replace a lead service line?
Replacement typically costs $3,000–$25,000 depending on depth, length, and soil conditions. Many utilities and states now offer grants or low-interest loans to help cover costs, especially for low-income households.
Can I use a water filter instead of replacing my lead service line?
Filters certified for lead removal can reduce lead in your tap water, but they require regular replacement and maintenance. Replacing the line is the permanent solution, though filters are an option while waiting for replacement.
