On 4 August 2022, EPA released Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a [Lead] Service Line Inventory to support water systems with their efforts to develop inventories and to provide states with needed information for oversight and reporting to EPA. In less opaque terms, EPA required all water utilities in the U.S. to inventory all of their water lines to check for the presence of any lead service lines or materials that may contain lead.
SS Water reviewed its construction, installation, and inspection records, and completed its inventory by the 14 October 2024 deadline. We are pleased to report that we have no lead lines nor lines affected/under the influence of lead anywhere on our water distribution system! Going forward, we will keep track of our water line inventory to ensure no lead service lines nor materials that contain lead get installed on our system.
