TIMBER LANE UTILITY DISTRICT Lead Service Line Inventory
About this water system
Timber Lane Utility District serves approximately 24,507 people in Texas. The district sources water from groundwater.
What we know about lead service lines here
Timber Lane Utility District has not yet publicly reported lead service line inventory data. This means we don't have confirmed numbers on how many lead service lines exist in the system, how many are non-lead, or how many remain unknown.
This is not unusual. Many smaller water systems across the US are still in the process of surveying their pipes. Inventory work can take years, especially in districts with older infrastructure or limited staffing.
Why this matters
Lead service lines—the pipes connecting the water main to your home—can leach lead into drinking water, especially when water is acidic or has low mineral content. Even small amounts of lead exposure can affect children's health. If your home was built before 1986, there's a higher chance your service line contains lead.
The first step in addressing this risk is getting an accurate count of which homes have lead lines. Once a water system knows where lead lines are, it can prioritize replacements and communicate directly with affected residents.
What should happen next
Federal law requires all community water systems to develop and implement lead service line replacement programs. These programs must include:
- A complete inventory of all service lines (lead, galvanized, and non-lead)
- A schedule for replacing lead lines
- Information sharing with residents about which homes are at risk
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has funded lead line replacement work nationwide, though allocations and timelines vary by state and utility.
How to find out if your home has a lead service line
Your water bill or the district's website may list your service line material. If not, contact Timber Lane Utility District directly and ask:
- "What material is the service line at my address?"
- "Does the district have a timeline for inventory completion?"
- "Are there any replacement programs available to residents?"
You can also hire a plumber to inspect your service line for a fee, or request a free or low-cost inspection if your district offers one.
Next steps for residents
- Contact Timber Lane Utility District to ask about your service line material and any replacement programs.
- Request a copy of the district's lead service line inventory status and replacement plan.
- If you have young children or are pregnant, ask your pediatrician about lead testing.
- Consider a point-of-use water filter certified to remove lead while waiting for service line replacement (NSF/ANSI Standard 53).
