FRISCO WEST WCID Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
Frisco West Water Control and Improvement District (FRISCO WEST WCID) serves approximately 5,805 people in Texas. The utility draws from surface water sources.
Lead Service Line Status
As of now, this water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. This means the utility has not yet identified which homes are connected to the water main by lead pipes—the most direct route for lead to enter your drinking water.
This is not unusual. The EPA required all U.S. water systems to complete lead service line inventories by October 2024, but many systems are still in progress. The absence of an inventory does not mean your home is safe from lead; it means the status is unknown.
What You Should Know
Lead service lines were commonly installed before the 1980s. If your home was built before 1985 and is in Frisco West WCID's service area, there's a meaningful chance your connection could include lead pipes.
Lead in drinking water poses real health risks, especially to children and pregnant people. Even small amounts of lead exposure can affect children's brain development. There is no "safe" level of lead in drinking water.
What Comes Next
Frisco West WCID is required to create and share its lead service line inventory. Once completed, the utility must make this information available to customers. You can request your home's status directly from the utility—they have this information even if the full inventory isn't yet public.
In the meantime, you can take practical steps to reduce your exposure: run cold water from the tap for 30 seconds before drinking or cooking (lead accumulates in standing water), use a NSF-certified filter if you're concerned, and have your water tested if you want concrete data about lead levels in your home.
Next Steps for Residents

Frequently asked
Does Frisco West WCID have lead in the water?
The water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory, so the full picture is unknown. If your home was built before 1985, there's a real possibility your service line (the pipe connecting your house to the water main) contains lead. Contact the utility directly to ask about your address.
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Call Frisco West WCID and ask them directly—they keep records of service line materials by address. You can also hire a plumber to inspect your indoor plumbing, though the most important section is buried underground.
What should I do if I'm worried about lead in my drinking water?
Run cold water for 30 seconds before drinking, use a NSF-certified filter, and request a water test from your local health department. If you have young children or are pregnant, talk to your doctor about testing your water.
When will Frisco West WCID finish its lead service line inventory?
The EPA required completion by October 2024, but many systems are still finishing. Contact the utility to ask for an expected timeline and whether partial results are available.
