To use the Lead-Safe Community Database, type a service address into the text bar located on the map that states "Find address or place." If the bar isn't shown on your view of the map, you can access it by clicking the magnifying glass in the top right corner. You may need to zoom into the map to see the property you are looking for. Once you locate the property, two symbols will display for a single address. The symbol on the left represents the public service line, and the symbol on the right represents the private service line.

Ownership of service lines is split between the City (public) and individual property owners (private). To learn more about ownership, view our FAQs.

The chart below describes what each symbol means on the database map. Click a symbol on the map to read more details about the service lines at that property.

To view a full legend, use the legend symbol located along the right side of the map. The full legend will only display once you are zoomed into the map to view a service address.

Legend Symbol: 

The City’s efforts to verify and inventory service lines began in the summer of 2023 using a variety of methods, including review of historical records and physical pipe inspections. As of October 2024, approximately 173 public service lines in Oklahoma City have been identified as lead, representing only .07% of the City’s 254,000 service accounts.

Efforts to identify unverified services lines is ongoing.

Next steps

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

As part of the City’s service line inventory, and in compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), the City will send notification letters to Utilities customers if the public and/or private service line material at their property has been verified as lead or galvanized steel requiring replacement. Customers where service line material remains unverified will also receive a notification letter. Letters will be mailed to customers by the EPA deadline of November 15.

SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT

Under Oklahoma law, 11 Oklahoma Statutes §37-204, and the City’s Municipal Code §55-43, the City is responsible for the public side of the service line and the property owner is responsible for the private side of the service line.

The City is currently developing a service line replacement plan to be published by the EPA deadline of late 2027. The timeline of public service line replacements has yet to be determined. When finalized, the City’s plan will provide for the replacement of every public service line identified as lead. The plan will be published online at okc.gov/utilities.

There is currently no Federal or State assistance available to help customers replace their private service lines. If public assistance becomes available, the City will provide notice to customers.
