Service Line Inventory Requirements for Lead and Copper Rule Revisions
The City of Chilton Water Utilities Department is dedicated to providing safe, reliable drinking water to our citizens. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has enacted new requirements aimed at protecting children and adults from the health effects from being exposed to lead in drinking water. Municipalities must compile a system wide water service line inventory to identify water service lines that could possibly be a source of lead. The inventory must include all service lines connected to the public water distribution system regardless of ownership status.
For the last several months, the City of Chilton has taken the necessary approach to performing water service line inspections throughout the community. Under the Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), all public water systems in Wisconsin must submit an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by October 16, 2024. In addition to submitting an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the DNR, all public water systems must make their inventories publicly accessible, and some water systems must meet Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) and Consumer Notification (CN) requirements.
The Service Line Inventory is now available for the City of Chilton. If you have any questions, please contact the City of Chilton Water Department at 920-849-9562 or City of Chilton City Hall at 920-849-2451. The DNR’s Service Line Inventory Requirements for LCRR website contains relevant documents and forms that water systems are encouraged to reference for the most current requirements:
