Important Information about the City of Seagoville’s Water Service Line Inventory
In October of 2024, the City of Seagoville submitted a federally required Service Line Inventory to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. At the time of submission, the material of all water service lines in the city was unknown.
Since then, the Seagoville Water Department has partnered with the Get the Lead Out Initiative to accelerate the identification of water service lines in the community.
We are regularly updating the inventory and encourage you to view the most updated version here.
If you received a letter stating your service line material is unknown, please be assured that the Water Department will have your service line identified as soon as possible. See below for the steps we are taking to identify service line materials:
- The City of Seagoville is reviewing development plans, and Dallas and Kaufman County records to determine the years of construction for all buildings in Seagoville. The State of Texas banned the use of lead in water service lines in 1989, all buildings constructed after this date are assumed to be lead free.
- For buildings constructed before 1989, the water department will conduct exploratory digging at the location of the water meter to expose and identify the service line material.
The City of Seagoville has never had high levels of lead returned from compliance water testing and does not expect to find many lead service lines.
We are committed to identifying all service line materials quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to water service. If you have additional questions, please contact the Water Department Director at [email protected] or see the below FAQs regarding lead.
