How to manage customer-owned service lines for LCRR compliance
When it comes to LCRR compliance, the inventory submission must include the materials on both the public and private side of the line. That can be easier said than done when it comes to classifying materials on the private side.
What funding is available for replacing privately owned lead service lines?
As water utilities start thinking about next steps for inventory management and replacement planning for unknowns and known lead service lines, they’ll need to consider the cost of replacement on both the public and private side of the line – a costly venture for utilities and homeowners alike.
What about states that haven’t issued predictive modeling guidance for LCRR compliance yet?
The EPA’s guidance for LCRR includes predictive modeling and statistical analysis as acceptable methods for service line classification in your inventory. While the EPA does provide some specifics on what to look for in predictive models, they left it up to the individual states to decide what is specifically needed for inventory submission and how those specifics are achieved.Â
Does lead have to exist for predictive modeling to work?
Using predictive modeling as it relates to identifying the likelihood of lead service lines can feel like a daunting task.
