Water Service Line Inventory - Public Works - June 2024

As part of a national initiative with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the City of Longview will inventory the types of materials of all customer’s water service lines in the City’s distribution system by October 16, 2024. The inventory is an important step in protecting public health and minimizing the risk of lead entering your drinking water from service pipes and fixtures in your home.
Residents can complete a Service Line Inventory Survey available at LongviewTexas..... The site also provides instructions for how to conduct an at-home scratch test, a project timeline, information about the updated Lead & Copper EPA Rule, and more information.
The City of Longview Public Works Department and Water Purification Division is committed to providing the highest quality drinking water to our customers. The City’s Water Purification Division carefully adjusts and monitors the water’s chemistry at the plant before it is distributed to prevent corrosion and minimize this risk. But the best way to eliminate lead from entering drinking water is to eliminate lead pipes and plumbing.
