Water systems must develop and submit to their State an initial service line inventory to identify the materials of service lines connected to the public water system by October 16, 2024.\nThe inventory must include all service lines connected to the public water distribution system regardless of ownership status. Each service line must be characterized as lead, galvanized requiring replacement, lead status unknown (or unknown), or non-lead, using the sources described in the LCRR.\nThe service line inventory must also be publicly accessible, and the publicly accessible inventory must include location identifiers for lead and galvanized requiring replacement service lines. Water systems serving greater than 50,000 persons must make the publicly accessible inventory available online.\nWhen a water system has no lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or lead status unknown service lines (regardless of ownership) in its inventory, it may comply with the public accessibility requirement using a written statement declaring that the distribution system has no lead or galvanized requiring replacement lines and including a general description of all sources described in 1414.84(a)(3)(5) and (6) that were used to make this determination.\nFor more information, see \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/lead-and-copper-rule-implementation-tools\" \\l \"SLI%20Dev\" \u0014Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory and Inventory Template\u0015.\nNotification of service lines characterized as lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or lead status unknown to persons served within 30 days of completion of the inventory (initial). Repeat notification on an annual basis until the entire service connection is no longer lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or unknown. For new customers, water systems must also provide the notice at the time of service initiation. For more information, please see the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/lead-and-copper-rule-implementation-tools\" \\l \"NOTIF_LSL\" \u0014Notification of Known or Potential Service Lines Containing Lead Fact Sheet and Templates\u0015.\nRequirements to distribute Tier 1 Public Notice (PN) to persons served by the water system no later than 24 hours after the system learns of the lead action exceedance (ALE) as specified in 141.80(c). A copy of the Tier 1 PN for the lead ALE must be sent to the primacy agency and the EPA Administrator no later than 24 hours after the system learns of the exceedance. For more information, please see \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/lead-and-copper-rule-implementation-tools\" \\l \"TIER_1\" \\h \u0014Lead Action Level Exceedance (ALE) Tier 1 Public Notice (PN) Factsheet and Templates\u0015.\nThe Public Notification Rule requires water systems to provide notice to the people they serve following violations and situations based on the severity of the potential health risk [\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/part-141/appendix-Appendix%20A%20to%20Subpart%20Q%20of%20Part%20141\" \u001440 CFR 141 subpart Q Appendix A\u0015].
