The first phase of Lead & Copper rule compliance ended in October, but a new phase quickly followed. EPA issued its final lead and copper rule on October 30th, which requires authorities to identify the unknown service lines in their system and implement a plan to replace all lead service lines within 10 years. It also requires more restrictive testing protocols. This presentation will provide clear guidance on the specific requirements and offer cost-effective strategies for compliance. Presenters will also discuss funding programs that authorities can use to defray the cost.
