Lead Service Line Inventory: CIMARRON MUD
CIMARRON MUD serves 19,338 people in Texas. Like all US water systems, it is required by federal law to identify and report lead service lines—pipes that connect homes to the water main.
What we know right now
CIMARRON MUD has not yet published a lead service line inventory on this directory. This does not mean your water is unsafe or that the utility has not done the work. It means either the inventory data hasn't been submitted to public records yet, or we haven't received it.
Lead service lines were commonly installed before the 1980s. If your home was built before 1990 and you live in an area served by CIMARRON MUD, there is a possibility your service line contains lead. The only way to know for certain is to contact the utility directly or have your water tested.
Why this matters
Lead can leach into drinking water, especially from older pipes or in homes with corrosive water conditions. Exposure is a real concern, particularly for young children and pregnant people. The EPA and CDC both recommend reducing lead exposure where possible.
What you can do now
Contact CIMARRON MUD directly. Ask them:
- Whether your address has a known lead service line
- If they have an inventory you can review
- Whether they offer free or low-cost water testing
- What their replacement timeline is, if applicable
Many water systems have begun replacing lead lines with help from federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, though CIMARRON MUD's funding status and replacement plan are not yet listed here.
Test your water. You can:
- Request a free test from your utility
- Contact your local health department
- Hire a certified lab (typically $20–50)
Reduce exposure while you investigate. Use cold water for drinking and cooking, let water run for 30 seconds before using it, and consider a pitcher or faucet filter rated for lead removal if you're concerned.
Next steps for residents
- Call or email CIMARRON MUD and ask for your service line status
- Request a free lead water test if available through your utility
- If your test shows elevated lead, contact your pediatrician or the CDC for guidance
- Check back here periodically—this inventory will update as utilities report new data

Frequently asked
How do I know if I have a lead service line?
Contact CIMARRON MUD with your address—they may have records. If your home was built before 1980 and you live in an older neighborhood, risk is higher. A water test won't directly identify the pipe, but it will tell you if lead is present in your water.
Is lead in water dangerous?
Lead exposure is a real health concern, especially for children under 6 and pregnant people. It can affect brain development and behavior. For health guidance, contact your pediatrician or the CDC.
Can I fix a lead service line myself?
No. Lead line replacement must be done by a licensed plumber and often requires utility coordination. CIMARRON MUD can tell you whether they offer replacement programs or financial assistance.
What is a lead service line?
It's the pipe carrying water from the main water line under the street to your home. Lead pipes were common before the 1980s. They can leach lead into drinking water, especially if water is corrosive or sits in the pipe for hours.
