Revised Lead/Copper Pipe EPA Regulations

Basic Lead Line Inventory Requirements
EPA has a national deadline for water systems to develop and submit initial lead service line inventories to the State. Systems must classify service lines using one of the four definitions below.  

Lead: A portion of the pipe that is made of lead, which connects the water main to the building inlet. 
Galvanized Requiring Replacement (GRR): A galvanized service line that is or ever was downstream of an LSL or is currently downstream of an unknown service line. 
Non-Lead: The service line is determined not to be lead or GRR through an evidence-based record, method, or technique. 
Unknown: The service line material is not known to be a lead, GRR, or non-lead, such as where there is no documented evidence supporting material classification. 
While the Revised Lead and Copper Rule requires the inventory to categorize each service line or portions of the service line where ownership is split, a single classification per service line is also needed to support various requirements, such as lead service line replacement (LSLR), tap sampling, and risk mitigation. The following is a diagram of a possible division in service line ownership (or responsibility) between the customer and water utility in which the system-owned portion of the service line is from the water main to the curb stop and the customer-owned portion is from the curb stop to the water meter.

We are asking all property owners to open their water valve box, identify the line going to your home, not to the street, Please take a picture and email it to [email protected] with your name, address, and contact information. Some may already know if they have lead, copper, schedule 40 white pipe or the most common used in our area black poly pipe.
Should you require assistance or have any questions, or are able to volunteer your time to assist in obtaining this information for those who may not be able to perform the request, please contact Tricia Pintar at 702-772-2407,
