Lead and Copper Rule

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) is proposing a revised Lead and Copper Rule to be implemented in 2024, or later. Revisions to the rule include modifications in sample collection for those sample sites with Lead Service Lines versus those without Lead Service Lines. A Lead Service Line is a lead pipe that connects tap-water service between a water main and house or building.

For more information on the EPA’s revised Lead and Copper Rule including sampling protocol updates, please visit the EPA’s webpage https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2020-12/documents/lcr_overview_fact_sheet_12-21-2020_final.pdf.
