The EPA established the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) in 1991 to protect public health and reduce exposure to lead in drinking water.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), first established in 1991, recently underwent its most extensive revision in 30 years. These revisions serve to better protect children and communities from the risks of lead exposure by better protecting children at schools and childcare facilities, getting the lead out of our nation’s drinking water, and empowering communities through information.

What is a Service Line?
The service line connects the water main to the property. The water utility owns the utility owned portion of the service line and the customer owns the customer owned portion of the service line.
Lead and Your Health
Why is lead a problem?
Lead can affect almost every organ and system in your body. Young children and infants are particularly vulnerable to lead. A dose of lead that would have little effect on an adult can have a significant effect on a child.
How does lead get into drinking water?
Lead can enter drinking water when pipes and plumbing fixtures that contain lead corrode, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content.
