City of Houston to notify nearly 430,000 customers of lead pipe identification efforts

SUMMARY: Houston is notifying approximately 430,000 water customers as part of a new initiative to identify potential lead pipes, mandated by a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule. Notices will begin arriving in mailboxes this week, with the goal of improving knowledge about lead service lines in the city. While the EPA estimates around 647,000 lead pipes are still operational in Texas, Houston has been slow in inventorying them. Residents can check the material of their service lines online and self-report their findings. Testing for materials will begin later this year, aiming to ensure safe drinking water within ten years.

The push to inform customers comes after the Biden administration announced a new EPA rule to identify and replace lead pipes within a decade.
