Lead & Copper Pipe Inventory:
**Update** While the deadline was October 16th, we will continue to process any late responses that are submitted.
The City does not have an issue with lead being present in our lines, and the drinking water is completely safe. The purpose of this project is solely focused on taking an inventory of the existing infrastructure to confirm the absence of any lead pipes within our system and ensure compliance with Federal Regulations before the October 2024 deadline.
