Public Information Materials  Public Notice for Failure to Submit

Customer Letter Lead & GRR Customer Letter Unknowns

Water systems must repeat the notifications on an annual basis until the entire service connection is no longer a lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or lead status unknown service line. For new customers, water systems shall also provide the notice at the time of service initiation per 40 CFR 141.80(4)(i), 40 CFR 141.85(e).

All community and non-transient noncommunity public water systems, regardless of the size of the system, are required to complete the EPA mandated Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) by October 16, 2024, under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (40 CFR 141.84). For the Inventory spreadsheet that must be completed and submitted to FDEP, click here.

The water system is required to have documented evidence to prove whether or not every service line on both the utility side and the customer's side of the meter potentially contains lead.
