HELP LARUE COUNTY WATER UPDATE ITS RECORDS
On December 16, 2021, the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) were finalized by the US EPA. There are multiple changes that water systems will be required to make over the coming years regarding lead and copper sampling, lead pipe replacement, and identification of lead pipes in the distribution system. The Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) will require all utilities to submit their initial Service Line Inventory by October 16, 2024. This requirement not only includes the utility owned portion up to the water meter, but also includes the privately owned section of water service line from the water meter to the house. LaRue County Water needs your help in updating its records on the material of the privately owned service line on your property.
Homes constructed before 1988, and particularly those built before 1950, may have lead or galvanized lines which can increase the possibility of lead contamination in the drinking water. If you fall under this category of homeowners, it’s crucial to be mindful of the potential existence of lead in your service line and take appropriate measures to remove it.
Complete our brief survey to assist us in identifying any lead or galvanized lines on your property. Your water utility is actively seeking to locate any potential public lead components in our distribution, and it’s crucial to ensure that there are no lead components within your home’s water line.
