BLUE RIDGE WATER CO INC Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System

Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This utility has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. As of our last update, no records of lead service lines have been publicly reported—which means the inventory work is still underway or results have not been made available.
Lead service lines are pipes made of lead that connect the main water line under the street to your home's plumbing. They were commonly installed before the 1980s. Over time, water can pick up lead from these pipes, especially if the water is corrosive or not properly treated.
What This Means for You
Because no inventory data has been published yet, you don't have official confirmation of whether your address has a lead service line. This is frustrating, but it's also not unusual—many water systems across the country are still working through this process.
You can take steps now:
- Contact your water utility directly to ask if your service line is lead. Ask for any records they may have, even if not yet publicly released.
- Check your home's age and location. Homes built before 1980 in older neighborhoods are at higher risk.
- Consider a water test. A certified lab can test your tap water for lead. Your utility may offer this free or at low cost.
- Use a filter rated to reduce lead (look for NSF/ANSI 53 certification) as an interim step while waiting for official inventory results.
Funding and Replacement Plans
No information about lead service line replacement funding or timelines is currently available for this system. Contact Blue Ridge Water Co Inc directly for details on any planned work or financial assistance programs.

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have a lead service line in South Carolina?
Contact Blue Ridge Water Co Inc directly—they may have records even if not yet published online. You can also check if your home was built before 1980 in an older neighborhood, which increases risk. A water test from a certified lab will tell you if lead is present in your tap water.
Is it safe to drink water from Blue Ridge Water Co Inc right now?
Lead in water is a health concern, especially for children and pregnant people. If you're worried, use a filter certified to reduce lead (NSF/ANSI 53) or drink bottled water. Contact your pediatrician or the CDC for health guidance specific to your situation.
When will Blue Ridge Water Co Inc finish their lead inventory?
No timeline has been published yet. Contact the utility directly to ask about their completion date and whether they've received federal funding to speed up the work.
What should I do if my house has a lead service line?
The safest long-term fix is replacement, but it's expensive and usually requires professional installation. Talk to your utility about replacement programs or financial help. In the meantime, run cold water before drinking, use a certified filter, and have your water tested regularly.
