The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released its Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) which includes the Lead Service Line (LSL) Inventory requirement. This initiative requires public water systems, including Birch Bay Water and Sewer District, to inventory all water service lines and the materials they are made of, from the water main to the meter (public side) and the meter to the building (private side). The mandate aims to help safeguard public health by ensuring that water systems across the United States develop and maintain comprehensive inventories of service line materials. The District has completed the required LSL Inventory. We are pleased to announce no lead service lines have been identified within the District’s water system.
This inventory is critical to ensuring the safety and highest quality drinking water for our residents, businesses, and visitors.
