The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released its Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR)which includes the Lead Service Line (LSL) Inventory requirement. This initiative requires public water systems, including the City of Snohomish, to inventory all water service lines and the materials they are made of, from the water main to the meter (public side) and the meter to the building (private side). The mandate aims to help safeguard public health by ensuring that water systems across the United States develop and maintain comprehensive inventories of service line materials. The City has completed the required LSL Inventory. We are pleased to announce no lead service lines have been identified within the City's water system.
Our efforts have resulted in the identification of both city-owned lines (from the water main to the meter) and private lines (from the meter to the structure). Even though no lead, unknown, or galvanized requiring replacement (GRR) service lines have been identified, we cannot definitively confirm the presence of lead in your service line or internal plumbing, although it is unlikely based on the information available and field investigation.
This inventory is critical to ensuring the safety and highest quality drinking water for our residents, businesses, and visitors.
