On January 15, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) that went into effect on December 16, 2021. You are served by a Group A water system, and all Group A systems are required to follow the LCRR.

What does this mean for you? We need to develop and submit a Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) by October 16, 2024; while continuing to comply with the prior version of the Lead and Copper Rule. This requires dedicated effort to review historic records and determine appropriate identification methods to obtain both private and utility owned service line information.
