Compliance Series: Why Is Unknown Management Critical Before The October 2024 LCRR compliance 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.
Compliance Series: State Compliance Requirements for Lead Service Line 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.”

Compliance Series: What does LCR/LCRI Compliance mean, exactly?
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?
