FT GREGG-ADAMS (FT LEE) Lead Service Line Inventory
What this water system serves
FT GREGG-ADAMS (FT LEE) provides water to approximately 28,580 people in Virginia. The system draws from surface water sources.
Lead service line inventory status
This water system has not yet completed a public lead service line (LSL) inventory. As of now, no data on the number of lead, galvanized, or non-lead service lines has been made available.
All US public water systems are required by federal law to develop and maintain an inventory of their service lines and identify which ones contain lead. Many systems are still in the process of gathering this information, especially those that serve smaller populations or have older infrastructure records.
Why this matters
A service line is the pipe that connects the water main in the street to your home. If yours is made of lead or contains lead solder, drinking water can pick up lead as it travels through that pipe—especially if the water is corrosive or if the line is old and worn.
Lead exposure, particularly for children and pregnant people, can affect development and health. For detailed health information, contact your pediatrician or visit the CDC's lead and health page.
What you can do now
Contact your water utility directly. Ask them:
- Whether your address has a lead service line
- If they have a replacement program or financial assistance for line replacement
- Whether they recommend flushing or using a filter in the meantime
The utility can often look up your service line material based on your property records, even if the public inventory isn't complete yet.
Get your water tested if you're concerned. Your water utility can provide information on free or low-cost testing. Home test kits are also available.
Next steps for residents
- Call or visit your water utility's website to ask about your specific service line and any lead reduction programs they offer.
- Request a water test through your utility or a certified lab if you want to know your home's current lead levels.
- Flush your tap before drinking or cooking if the water has been sitting in pipes for several hours.
- Talk to your pediatrician if you have young children and are concerned about lead exposure.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my home has a lead service line?
Contact your water utility and give them your address. They can check their service line records. You can also have a plumber inspect the line where it enters your home—lead is soft, gray, and leaves a mark if scratched with a coin.
Is lead in my water dangerous?
Lead can be harmful, especially for children and pregnant people. For specific health concerns, talk to your doctor or pediatrician. The CDC has detailed information on lead and health risks.
Can I remove lead from my tap water myself?
A certified lead-removing water filter can reduce lead at your tap, but the best long-term solution is replacing the service line. Your utility can recommend certified filters and may offer cost-sharing programs for replacement.
Does this water system have funding to replace lead service lines?
Information about replacement funding for this system is not currently available. Contact your utility to ask whether they have Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants, state programs, or other financial assistance for service line replacement.
