MAWC YOUGH PLANT Water System: Lead Service Line Information
MAWC YOUGH PLANT serves approximately 133,000 residents across its service area in Pennsylvania. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to maintain an inventory of lead service lines — the pipes that connect homes to the public water main — and make that information available to customers.
What we know about this water system
This water system draws from surface water sources. As of now, LeadPipeLookup does not have detailed lead service line inventory data publicly available for this utility, including counts of confirmed lead lines, galvanized lines, or lines identified as non-lead.
This does not mean the utility has no lead lines or that your home is not at risk. It means the inventory information has not yet been published in a format we can access, or the utility is still developing its inventory as required under federal regulations.
What you should do
Contact your water utility directly. MAWC YOUGH PLANT is legally required to provide you with information about whether your property has a lead service line. You can ask for:
- Whether your specific address has a known lead service line
- What records they have about your line's material
- Whether the utility has a lead line replacement program
- Whether your area qualifies for federal infrastructure funding (like Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants) to replace lines
Many utilities offer free testing kits or assistance with replacement costs. Some provide corrosion control treatment to reduce lead leaching from existing lines while replacement is pending.
If you're concerned about lead in your water
The CDC recommends that pregnant people, infants, and young children limit lead exposure. If you have health concerns, contact your pediatrician or your state health department — they can advise on testing and next steps specific to your household.
You can also request a free or low-cost water test through your utility or local health department to measure lead levels in your tap water.
Next steps for residents
- Contact MAWC YOUGH PLANT to request your property's lead service line status and ask about the utility's replacement or treatment programs.
- Request a water test if you're concerned about lead in your tap water; many utilities offer this at no cost.
- Ask about funding options like federal infrastructure grants that may cover replacement costs.
- Speak with your pediatrician or local health department if you have health concerns about lead exposure in your household.

Frequently asked
Does MAWC YOUGH PLANT have lead in the water?
Lead levels in drinking water depend on your home's plumbing, not just the utility's source water. Contact the utility to find out if your property has a lead service line and request a free water test to measure lead at your tap.
How do I find out if my house has a lead service line?
Call or email MAWC YOUGH PLANT and provide your address. The utility is required to tell you whether your line is lead, galvanized, or another material based on their records and inspection data.
How much does it cost to replace a lead service line?
Costs vary widely, but many utilities offer partial or full funding through federal grants or utility programs. Contact MAWC YOUGH PLANT to ask about your eligibility and what financial help is available.
Is it safe to drink tap water if there's lead in my line?
A water test will tell you whether lead is actually leaching into your water—many lead lines do not cause elevated tap water levels, especially if the water is treated to reduce corrosion. A test is the only way to know for sure.
