Lead & Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) Compliance

The U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) require utilities to maintain an inventory of service line materials by October 16, 2024, posing information and operations challenges for water suppliers. Further, LCRR is a step toward a larger federal effort to remove all lead service lines that will be expanded by the proposed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), which the agency intends to promulgate by the LCRR deadline.

While policy evolves to safeguard the public, especially children, from the dangers of lead exposure — the World Health Organization, EPA, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) all agree that there is no safe level of lead in a child’s blood — utilities must keep pace with requirements, regardless of their size or (lack of) resources.

To that end, there are experts and technologies, including those presented within this e-book, to help guide utilities toward compliance.
