The Oct 16 deadline is here! Now what?
We talk a lot about ‘compliance’ but the reality is that compliance is complicated and changes over time. This series breaks down compliance requirements across the LCR and the proposed LCRI to help you understand the who, what, and when of compliance. We’ve been talking about October 16, 2024 for years…and it’s finally here. Initial Service […]
Funding LCRR compliance: what to know
We talk a lot about ‘compliance’ but the reality is that compliance is complicated and changes over time. This series breaks down compliance requirements across the LCR and the proposed LCRI to help you understand the who, what, and when of compliance. The October 2024 Service Line Inventory deadline is now 1 month away. In the […]
Lead vs GRR: Predictive modeling for LCRR compliance
Not sure if you’ve got lead or GRR? Learn how to navigate predictive modeling and statistical method compliance for service line material identification.
Understanding GRR in LCRR inventories
For Service Line Inventories, water systems are required to identify galvanized-requiring-replacement (GRR) service lines in addition to Lead, Non-Lead, and Unknowns. Explore why GRR matters for public health, the EPA definition of GRR, and how to efficiently and accurately tackle GRR for your Service Line Inventory.

Validating no-lead status statistically
Learn how to statistically validate no lead or low lead levels in service line inventories to ensure compliance with regulations.
Managing unknowns before LCRR deadline
Unknown management isn’t a compliance requirement for October 2024 but, for the purposes of LCRR/LCRI compliance, service lines of unknown material are treated as presumed lead. Water systems that delay active identification of unknowns in their LSLI risk increased compliance requirements in the coming years leading to increased time, cost, and community pressure around lead identification and remediation.
State requirements for LSL inventories
We started this series discussing the LCRR Lead Service Line Inventory compliance requirement for October 16, 2024. In this post, we shared that “some states have adopted the EPA template exactly while other states have modified the template to meet additional state-specific requirements.”
Customer notifications & LCR compliance
We talk a lot about ‘compliance’ but the reality is that compliance is complicated and changes over time. This series breaks down compliance requirements across the LCR and the proposed LCRI to help you understand the who, what, and when of compliance.
LCR & LCRI compliance explained
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed changes to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) with the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI). Long term, LCRI compliance means that every service line made of lead or galvanized-requiring-replacement materials will be replaced. How do we get there?
