Lead and Copper Rule: Implementation

 

In 2000, EPA completed minor revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). All community water systems and non-transient non-community water systems are potentially affected, as well as the state staff who are responsible for implementing the LCR. The changes fall into seven broad categories: demonstration of optimal corrosion control, lead service line replacement requirements, public education requirements, monitoring requirements, analytical methods, reporting and record keeping requirements, and special primacy considerations.

  • Lead in Drinking Water Regulation: Public Education Guidance (EPA 816-R-02-010 June 2002)
    • Guidance (934 KB PDF FILE)
    • Files for Appendix D

      Appendix D provides template mailers/brochures for Community Water Systems (CWS) and Non-transient Non-community Water Systems (NTNCWS) in PDF format. Systems have the option of writing in their system-specific information or downloading these documents. We are offering several versions of these mailers/brochures because the Lead and Copper Rule - Minor Revisions (LCRMR) language can vary for water systems that do not have lead service lines and/or building permit records available (i.e., systems may be able to omit the public education language that pertains to these subjects).
