Which Tennessee Areas Have the Most Galvanized Pipe Risk?
The 4 Tennessee areas with the highest share of confirmed galvanized service lines requiring replacement, out of 4 areas with enough data for a reliable estimate. Galvanized steel isn't lead itself, but a line installed downstream of a lead gooseneck or connector can leach lead particles trapped in its rough interior even after the original lead pipe is gone — federal guidance treats it with the same urgency as a confirmed lead line.

| 2 | Whitwell | 44 | 1.3% |
| 3 | Lookout Mtn | 12 | 1.1% |
| 4 | Memphis | 1,687 | 0.5% |
