About this water system

Lead service line inventory status
This water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. As of now, there are 0 lines documented in the public inventory database.
Under the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, water systems must identify all lead service lines—the pipes that connect the main water line under the street to homes and buildings. This inventory work is still underway at many utilities across the country, and Texas systems are working through different timelines.
What this means for residents
If your home was built before 1986, there's a higher chance your service line contains lead. The only way to know for certain is to have it tested or to contact your water utility directly for information about your property.
A lead service line doesn't automatically mean your water is unsafe—much depends on water chemistry, corrosion control treatment, and how long water sits in the pipe. But the EPA and CDC recommend testing if you're concerned, especially if you have young children or pregnant people in your home.
