Lynchburg’s Lead Pipe Hunt | Roanoke News

Lynchburg is rolling up its sleeves to tackle lead pipes—thanks to a new state law that lets crews inspect private property water lines. Part of a federal push to map every service line, the city’s Pure Pipe program is already scanning over 26,000 pipes, checking for lead whether they’re on public or private land. Crews dig small holes near your meter, often without needing you home or shutting off water, and may leave a QR code for instant results. If lead is found, the city pays for replacement. You can help by reporting your own pipes via an online survey. Once the full inventory is complete, replacement plans will begin—making clean water safer for everyone.
