The following document provides detailed guidance on how to create and maintain a service line inventory, as required by the federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) Lead Service Line Inventory Guide  Here is a summary: 

What the Village is Doing for Lead Service Line Inventory:

1. Comprehensive Inventory Requirement: Every water system, without exception, is required to develop a complete inventory of service lines by October 16, 2024. This inventory will include all lines, irrespective of ownership, and must be submitted to the local health department.

2. Public Access and Notification: Residents and business owners will be notified within 30 days if their service lines are identified as lead service lines (LSL), galvanized service lines requiring replacement (GSLRR), or of unknown material. Updates to the inventory will be made annually or every three years, depending on the monitoring frequency.

3. Transparency and Participation: The process encourages input and cooperation from customers, including residents and business owners, to accurately identify service line materials, especially those that are customer-owned. This collaborative approach ensures that the inventory is as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

4. Health and Safety Information: Along with the inventory, affected property owners will receive detailed information on the health effects of lead, steps to reduce exposure, and opportunities for replacing lead-contaminated lines. Information about any available financial assistance programs for line replacement will also be provided.

5. Continuous Updates and Improvements: The service line inventory is a living document that will be continuously updated with new information from service line replacements and repairs. This ensures that the inventory remains current and reflects the latest conditions.

6. Public Accessibility: The final inventory will be made publicly accessible, which can include interactive web-based maps or other digital formats. This ensures transparency and allows residents and business owners to easily access information about the service lines to their properties.

This initiative not only complies with federal regulations but is also a proactive step towards ensuring safe drinking water and public health. The Village is committed to transparency and collaboration with residents and business owners throughout this process.
