Compliance Made Easy
In 2021, the EPA published Lead & Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) which established both new and revised compliance requirements for all community water systems. Of particular importance is the requirement to develop and submit a service line inventory of all service connections no later than October 16, 2024.
Additional changes are also anticipated with the promulgation of the Lead & Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) expected for release in late 2023.
With Veolia, you benefit from our integrated approach to LCRR compliance, combined with our dedicated internal expertise, which allows us to add and adapt solutions for an ever changing water sector. Look no further for a trusted partner with a clear understanding of both water treatment and distribution system operation and management with the ability to leverage both internal and external resources for full end-to-end program delivery.
LCRR requirements define significant updates to the Lead & Copper Rule, ushering municipalities to prepare for increased monitoring, public notification and infrastructure upgrades. We can support municipalities in their implementation of various LCRR requirements such as:
- Developing a service line inventory
- Planning and oversight of field activities such as lead service line replacement, compliance sampling, and development and implementation of optimized corrosion control treatment.

A Proven Track Record
As part of a three year contract, we have completed more than 500 in-home inspections to support private-side service line identifications for the Town of Kearny, NJ. A customized GIS-based application is used to support this field-based collection of service line data during inspections, dig and determine activities and track customer participation and refusals. We also support post lead service line replacement activities with a coordinated pitcher filter distribution program. We maintain all this information in the GIS-based inventory that serves as a single source of truth combining data from various sources. This can be used to publish on utilities’ websites for customer information.
In Buffalo, NY, we successfully developed service line inventory, including establishing tracking data tools and coordinating partnerships with multiple vendors to identify more than 500 customer side service lines.
