In accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s new Lead and Copper Rule, WCID No. 17 recently performed a Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) of every service line in our distribution system. Each line must be categorized as either lead, non-lead, galvanized, or lead status unknown.
Homes in which the pipe materials are “unknown” will require a physical inspection of their service lines. Please know this does not mean the pipes leading to the home are made of lead, it only means the pipes will require a physical inspection in order to determine if they contain lead components.
At this time no action is required by the homeowner. WCID No. 17 and its crews will be working over the next six months to positively identify the materials and components of these service lines. Homeowners can search the list for their address HERE.
