Important Information
EPA REVISED LEAD & COPPER RULE -
What is the Lead and Copper Rule?
In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a regulation to control lead and copper in drinking water. This regulation is known as the Lead and Copper Rule (also referred to as the LCR). Since 1991 the LCR has undergone various revisions. The latest Lead and Copper Rule Revision requirement tasks each Waterworks to prepare and maintain an inventory of service line materials by October 16, 2024.
Russell County PSA monitors lead and copper throughout its system by collecting water samples and having them analyzed, with the results reported to the Virginia Department of Health's Office of Drinking Water as well as the customers that participate in the sampling.
HOW YOU CAN HELP!
Waterworks across the country have been tasked to create an inventory of service line materials for every customer, which is a large and daunting task. In an attempt to cut costs and keep them from being passed on to customers, many Waterworks are asking customers to fill out a simple form (under Forms & Reports Tab) that will make the inventory creation faster, less costly, and more efficient.
