WOODS HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2 Lead Service Line Inventory
About This Water System
WOODS HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2 serves approximately 3,300 people in West Virginia. The system draws water from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, this water system has not yet completed a lead service line inventory. That means the utility has not yet surveyed and documented which homes are connected to the water main using lead pipes.
Federal law requires all community water systems to complete this inventory and share the results with residents by October 2024 (for most systems) or by 2025 (for smaller systems). An inventory is the first step toward identifying homes that may be at risk and planning replacements.
What This Means for Your Home
Without a completed inventory, you don't have official confirmation from the utility about whether your home has a lead service line. However, you can take action now:
- Contact the utility directly. Ask if they have records showing what material your service line is made of. Many utilities have older documentation.
- Request a water test. If you're concerned about lead in your drinking water, a simple test can tell you whether lead is present at your tap. Contact your water system or your county health department for testing options—many are free or low-cost.
- Check your home's age and location. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead service lines, particularly in older neighborhoods.
Lead service lines are the most common source of lead in drinking water. Even homes with lead lines can have safe water if the line is in good condition and water chemistry is managed properly—but replacement is the only way to fully eliminate this risk.
Next Steps for Residents
- Contact WOODS HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2 to ask about your home's service line material and request an update on their inventory timeline.
- Request a free or low-cost water test through your county health department or the utility.
- If you have young children or are pregnant, talk to your pediatrician or OB/GYN about lead exposure and whether testing is right for you.
