Due to the catastrophic event in Flint, MI, the EPA is requesting all public water suppliers to list areas in their system that have lead service lines to their customers. There are No Lead Service Lines in Public Water Supply District # 1, we have only used copper for service lines.  Our public water system is conducting a lead service line inventory. Although we have no reason to believe there is any lead in our system, the inventory is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Revised Lead and Copper Rule. In performing the lead service line inventory, we need to know the material composition of both the publicly owned (water system-owned) and privately owned (customer-owned) portions of the service line. We are requesting your help in this identification process. Please visit here for more information and to fill out our survey.
