Many public water system owners in the U.S. worked hard from 2021 to 2024 to comply with the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR). As of October 2024, in its current form, the rule is now known as the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI). You may know that the next compliance deadline is November 1, 2027. But what exactly is due at that time? How can you be sure you’re complying with the requirements?
