FORT CAMPBELL WATER SYSTEM Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
Fort Campbell Water System serves approximately 43,270 people in Kentucky. The system draws water from surface sources.
Lead service line inventory status
Fort Campbell Water System has not yet published a lead service line inventory.
This means the utility has not made public a count or map of which homes are connected to lead service lines—pipes that can leach lead into drinking water over time. Without this data, residents cannot easily find out whether their home is at risk.
Lead service lines are a real concern: they can contaminate water even in homes where the internal plumbing is safe. Young children and pregnant people face the highest health risks from lead exposure.
What you should know
Inventory requirements are new. The EPA required all water utilities to complete a lead service line inventory by October 2024. Some utilities are still working on this, while others have already finished and shared results online.
No inventory data yet doesn't mean no lead lines. It means the utility either hasn't finished the work, hasn't uploaded results publicly, or is still gathering information from property records and field inspections.
You can still get answers now. Contact Fort Campbell Water System directly to ask:
- Does my address have a lead service line?
- What is the timeline for publishing the inventory?
- Are there any interim steps I can take to reduce exposure?
The utility may have partial information even if the full inventory isn't public yet.
Next steps for residents
- Contact the water utility directly and ask about the lead service line status at your address. Request any available inventory data or timeline for completion.
- Get your water tested if you're concerned. A basic lead test costs $20–30 at a lab. Your county health department or the utility can recommend one.
- Use a certified water filter (NSF/ANSI Standard 53) on your kitchen tap if you want extra protection while waiting for inventory results. This is temporary risk reduction, not a substitute for service line replacement.
- Ask about replacement programs. Some utilities offer grants or low-interest loans to help homeowners replace lead service lines. Your utility can tell you if one exists and whether you qualify.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Contact Fort Campbell Water System and ask about your address. You can also look at the connection between your home's foundation and the water meter—lead is soft, dull gray, and can be scratched with a coin. If unsure, a plumber can inspect it.
Is lead in water dangerous?
Lead has no safe level, especially for children under 6 and pregnant people. It can affect brain development and learning. For health guidance, talk to your pediatrician or contact the CDC.
Can I remove lead from my tap water myself?
A certified water filter (NSF/ANSI Standard 53) on your kitchen tap can reduce lead. Boiling does not remove lead. For long-term safety, the only solution is replacing the lead service line.
When will Fort Campbell Water System publish its lead inventory?
The system has not yet made an inventory public. Contact the utility directly to ask about their timeline and whether they have any data available for your address.
