Revised Lead and Copper Rule
The Board of Public Works is in full compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Revised Lead and Copper Rule, which requires public water systems to develop and maintain a complete inventory of service lines.
Protecting Water Quality
This crucial step is part of BPW’s ongoing efforts to safeguard public health by ensuring that no lead or copper contaminants are present in its drinking water system.
BPW’s water system has no evidence of lead or copper contaminants, and the water is tested regularly. The Annual Drinking Water Quality Report is made available to all residents and posted online.
Service Line Inventory
BPW has conducted a service line inventory in full compliance with the EPA’s guidelines. The inventory is required by law to be maintained in perpetuity.
The inventory provides the foundation for future efforts to replace any lead service lines that may be identified.
Federal Requirements
The Revised Lead and Copper Rule mandates that community water systems identify all service lines.
The purpose of this requirement is to reduce exposure to lead, which can create significant health risks, particularly for children and pregnant women. Lead exposure can cause developmental delays in children and other serious health conditions.
Providing safe, quality water has always been a top priority for the Board. While we have no reason to believe there are any lead service lines in our system, we must, and will, comply with the EPA’s new Lead and Copper Rule.
— Steve Bratton, General Manager
Ongoing Compliance
Failure to comply with the Revised Lead and Copper Rule can have significant consequences for public water systems, including fines, legal action and potential public health risks.
