VEOLIA NEWBERRY SYSTEM Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
VEOLIA NEWBERRY SYSTEM serves about 6,480 people in Pennsylvania. The system uses groundwater as its primary source.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, this water system has not yet inventoried its lead service lines. This means the utility has not completed a public count of how many pipes in the system are made of lead or are lead-bearing.
Pennsylvania requires water utilities to complete lead service line inventories and make the results publicly available. If your utility has not finished this work, you may be in the early stages of the inventory process, or delays may be occurring.
Why This Matters
Lead service lines are the pipes that run from the water main (the large pipe under the street) into individual homes. If your line is made of lead, water sitting in the pipe can pick up lead, especially if the water is corrosive or hasn't been used for several hours.
The first step toward reducing lead exposure is knowing which homes have lead lines. Until your utility completes an inventory, there's no public record of risk in your area.
What You Can Do
Contact your water utility directly to ask:
- When they expect to complete their lead service line inventory
- Whether your specific address has a lead service line (they may have partial data even if the full inventory isn't published)
- Whether they offer free or reduced-cost lead testing or replacement programs
If you're concerned about lead in your water right now, you can request a free lead test kit from your utility, or purchase one from a hardware store. The EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) can also point you to accredited labs in your area.
For health questions, contact your pediatrician or the CDC. Lead exposure during early childhood is a particular concern, and a healthcare provider can assess individual risk.
Next Steps for Residents

- Request your own property information: ask if the utility knows whether your address has a lead service line
- Get a water test if you want confirmation of lead levels in your tap water right now

Frequently asked
Does my water have lead in it?
We don't know yet—this utility hasn't finished counting its lead service lines. The only way to know if your water contains lead is to test it. Contact your utility about free or low-cost testing, or buy a test kit from a hardware store.
How long does it take to get a lead service line inventory?
It depends on the utility's size and resources. Smaller systems like this one typically take 1–3 years, but delays are common. Contact VEOLIA NEWBERRY SYSTEM to ask for their timeline.
What should I do if I have a lead service line?
The safest long-term solution is replacement, but in the meantime, run cold water for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking, use cold water for baby formula (not hot), and consider a point-of-use filter certified for lead. Ask your utility if they have replacement programs or financing options.
Can lead service lines be dangerous?
Lead pipes can release lead into drinking water, which is a health concern especially for young children and pregnant women. For specific health concerns, talk to your pediatrician or call the CDC at 1-800-CDC-INFO.
