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.
Straight Hollow Water Project Update
The PSA is aware that the current asphalt patch in the Straight Hollow area does not meet VDOT standards. Please note that this is a temporary patch put in place to carry us through the winter season and allow work to continue safely until the project is complete.
Weather permitting, the full project—including permanent pavement restoration—is expected to be completed by the end of April 2026.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve the water system in your area.
Thank you,
Chris Dye
