Harnett Regional Water Service Line Inventory
The Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR) is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directive to identify water service line materials within our community. As part of Harnett Regional Water’s commitment to providing safe drinking water, we are proactively conducting field surveys of our distribution system and service lines.

How to Use the Service Line Inventory:
Open the spreadsheet using the link above. Use “Control+F” to find your address and the corresponding service line material status. The status of your service line material classification is subject to change based on evolving regulatory guidance, rules, and pending legislation. We strive to keep our classifications up-to-date, but changes in regulations may occur that could impact the current status. We are working diligently with regulators to ensure the proper classification.
What is a Water Service Line?
A service line is the pipe connecting your home to the community water main. The Town owns the part from the water main to your meter, while you own the part from the meter to your home.
Why is lead in drinking water a concern?
Lead exposure, even at low levels, can have serious health implications, especially in children, causing developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioral issues. Preventing lead in drinking water is essential for public health. Lead service lines can contaminate water, so identifying and replacing them is crucial to reduce lead exposure.
Harnett Regional Water has not found lead service lines within our distribution system to date, but we still must comply with the federal mandate to verify service line materials within our community.
