Public Notice... new EPA regulations
Monday, February 28, 2022, 20:14

are mandating ALL water utilities in the nation begin to inventory and ultimately replace ALL lead service lines and connections. The entire NATION. This will be drawn out over some years and should be a real boon for lead casters IF they don't run the prices up and send it all abroad.

We did a replacement program in the 1970's (I happen to know where a bunch of that went, wink) but identified some 300 potential locations to submit for our investigative replacement program, so far. Also cast iron sewer pipe classically was connected with leaded joints. Actually water pipes too but they seldom are encountered. In the ground 100 years and still going. Unless they end up in the scrap yard.

Up north it was popular for the service lines from the meter to the house to be a solid lead pipe. The Flint, MI debacle spawned a new affront in the nation on lead pipe mitigation. This new program is the result.
