City of Sansom Park Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
The City of Sansom Park serves approximately 5,359 people in Texas. Like all public water systems in the US, Sansom Park is required to maintain an inventory of lead service lines—the pipes that carry water from the main line to individual homes.
Current Inventory Status
As of our last update, the City of Sansom Park has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. This means the utility has not published a count of how many lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines exist in the system.
This is not uncommon. Many smaller water systems across the country are still in the early stages of inventory work. Completing an inventory takes time and resources, especially for utilities serving smaller populations.
What This Means for Your Home
If you live in Sansom Park, you cannot yet look up your specific address in a public inventory to learn whether your service line contains lead. However, you can still take action:
- Request information directly. Contact the City of Sansom Park water utility and ask about your property's service line material. They may have records even if a public inventory isn't published yet.
- Know your home's age. Service lines installed before 1986 are more likely to be lead or galvanized steel. If your home was built or had plumbing work done around that time, ask your water utility or a licensed plumber to help identify your line.
- Test your water. A water test can tell you if lead is present in your tap water right now. Some utilities offer free or low-cost testing kits; contact Sansom Park's water department to ask.
Next Steps for Residents
- Call or email the City of Sansom Park water utility and ask: "What material is my service line, and when was it installed?"
- If you're concerned about lead in your water, request a free or low-cost water test from your utility.
- Visit the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule page for more information on how utilities are required to manage lead.
- If you have health concerns, consult your pediatrician or the CDC's lead guidance.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my home has a lead service line in Sansom Park?
Contact the City of Sansom Park water utility directly and ask about your property's service line material. You can also have a licensed plumber inspect it. Homes built before 1986 are at higher risk of having lead lines.
Can I test my water for lead?
Yes. Contact the City of Sansom Park water department and ask about free or low-cost water testing kits. A water test tells you if lead is actually present in your tap water.
Is lead service line water dangerous?
Lead in drinking water poses serious health risks, especially for young children and pregnant people. The CDC recommends testing if you're concerned. Flushing water before use and using cold water for drinking and cooking can reduce exposure while you work toward a solution.
When will Sansom Park finish its lead service line inventory?
The utility has not published a completion date yet. Contact the City of Sansom Park water department to ask about their timeline and any federal or state funding they're using to support this work.
