I-40 REST AREA MADISON Lead Service Line Inventory
I-40 REST AREA MADISON is a public water system in Tennessee that serves approximately 5,000 people. This page summarizes what is publicly known about lead service lines (the pipes that carry water from the main water line to your building) in this system's service area.
Current Inventory Status
As of now, I-40 REST AREA MADISON has not completed a public lead service line inventory. This means the water system has not yet published a count of how many lead service lines exist in its service area, or details about their locations and status.
Under federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, all water systems must develop and maintain an inventory of lead service lines. However, the timeline for completing this work varies by system size and state regulations. Smaller systems like this one may have additional time to finish their inventory work.
What This Means for You
Without a completed inventory, it's difficult to know your own risk level without contacting the water system directly. If you live or work in the I-40 REST AREA MADISON service area and are concerned about lead:
- Contact the utility and ask whether your service line is known to be lead, galvanized (which can contain lead solder), or non-lead material.
- Ask about their timeline for completing the full inventory.
- If your line is lead or galvanized, ask whether the system has a replacement program or financial assistance available.
Groundwater Source
I-40 REST AREA MADISON draws its water from groundwater. Groundwater systems face different treatment challenges than surface water systems, though both must meet federal lead and copper standards.
