We want to keep you in the loop about an essential program happening in our community. Your local water utility is currently working on developing a Service Line Inventory in accordance with the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). We’re excited to share some key details with you, making sure you’re informed and assured about this initiative.
Why the Service Line Inventory?
The Service Line Inventory is a federal requirement aimed at enhancing the safety and reliability of our water infrastructure. It’s part of our commitment to ensuring the highest standards in water quality and compliance with national regulations.
It’s Not About Water Quality Issues:
We want to emphasize that this program has nothing to do with any suspected deficiencies in our water quality. Your tap water remains safe. This is a proactive measure to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of our water system.
Here’s the good news – we secured funding that allows us to carry out this Service Line Inventory without any impact on your utility bills. We believe in being fiscally responsible and leveraging opportunities to benefit our community, and this funding helps us do just that.
What to Expect:
The City of Radford is currently creating an inventory of all water service line materials in the City’s water system as part of a Federal EPA program. As part of that effort, in the coming weeks you may receive a survey in the mail asking for you to tell us about your water service line material. This information will help us greatly as we continue to fulfill our obligation to the EPA. The survey will include a guide to help you locate your service line and identify the material. There will be a materials information guide included if you do not already know your service line material. You will be able to complete the survey using the postage-paid paper form provided or through our web form. This information will help us greatly to fulfill our obligation to the EPA and in our ongoing efforts to ensure the city is providing you with the highest quality drinking water. If you have any questions, please contact Jay Eanes at 540-731-3603.
Your Cooperation Matters:
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work towards completing this federally mandated program. Your involvement ensures the success of this initiative and contributes to the overall well-being of our community.
