On December 16, 2021, the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) were finalized by the US EPA. There are multiple changes that water systems will be required to make over the coming years regarding lead and copper sampling, lead pipe replacement, and identification of lead pipes in the distribution system.

 

     The Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) will require all utilities to submit their initial Service Line Inventory by October 16, 2024. This requirement not only includes the utility owned portion up to the water meter, but also includes the privately owned section of water service line from the water meter to the house. Ohio County Water District needs your help in updating its records on the material of the privately owned service line on your property.
