CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
The City of Grand Prairie serves 201,843 people in Texas. Like all U.S. public water systems, Grand Prairie is required by the EPA to identify and track lead service lines—the pipes that connect the water main to individual homes.
This page summarizes what is currently known about lead service lines in Grand Prairie's system. The information comes from the utility's own inventory data and federal records.
What We Know Right Now
Grand Prairie has not yet completed a full inventory of its lead service lines. This means the utility is still in the process of identifying which homes may have lead pipes. Many water systems across the country are at similar stages—the EPA's deadline for completing inventories was October 2024, and Grand Prairie may still be updating its records.
Because the inventory is incomplete, we don't have exact numbers on how many lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines exist in the system. This is normal during the transition period, but it also means you may not yet know the status of your own service line.
What Should You Do Now?
Contact your water utility directly. The City of Grand Prairie's water department can tell you whether your specific address has a known lead service line, or whether your line's status is still being determined. They may also have information about water testing, filters, or flushing practices that reduce lead exposure.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider having your water tested. The EPA and CDC recommend this for homes with lead service lines. A simple test costs $20–50 and takes a few days for results.
Don't panic if you have a lead service line. Lead exposure from drinking water is preventable. Flushing your tap before use, using cold water for cooking and drinking, and installing a certified filter all reduce risk. The CDC has detailed guidance on these steps.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact the City of Grand Prairie water department to ask about your service line status and request a water test if you're concerned.
- Have your water tested if you have young children, are pregnant, or live in a home built before 1986 (when lead pipes were common).
- Review CDC guidance on reducing lead exposure at home while you wait for your service line results.
- Check back on this page periodically—Grand Prairie will update its inventory over time, and we'll reflect those changes here.

Frequently asked
Does Grand Prairie have lead in the water?
Grand Prairie is still completing its inventory of lead service lines, so exact numbers aren't available yet. Lead can enter water through old pipes, not from the treatment system itself. Contact the utility to find out if your home's service line is lead.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Call the City of Grand Prairie water department with your address. They can tell you whether your service line is lead, galvanized, copper, or still unknown. Many utilities also allow you to look this up online or request a site inspection.
Is it safe to drink tap water in Grand Prairie?
Grand Prairie's treated water meets EPA safety standards. However, if you have a lead service line, some lead may leach into your water at home. Flushing the tap, using cold water, and installing a certified filter are effective ways to reduce exposure.
When will Grand Prairie replace lead service lines?
The utility is still completing its inventory. Once that's done, they'll develop a replacement plan. Contact the City of Grand Prairie water department for their timeline and to ask about programs that may help homeowners pay for replacement.
