NORTH AUSTIN MUD 1 Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
North Austin MUD 1 serves approximately 11,133 people in Texas. The utility draws its water from surface sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
This water system has not yet completed a public lead service line inventory.
Federal law requires all US water utilities to identify and inventory lead service lines—the pipes that carry water from the main water line under the street to homes. Lead service lines pose a documented health risk, especially to children and pregnant people, because lead can leach into drinking water over time.
North Austin MUD 1 has not yet published an inventory online, which means either the inventory work is still underway or the results have not been made public. This does not mean there are no lead lines in the system—it means the count and location data are not available for residents to review.
What You Can Do Now

- Whether your home has a lead service line
- When the full inventory will be completed and made public
- What interim steps they recommend if you're concerned about lead exposure
