Lead Service Line Inventory
WKUD recently completed its water service line inventory as required by the EPA. We are proud to share that there were no lead lines, galvanized lines needing replacement, or unknown lines throughout the water distribution system. WKUD used methods in the inventory including:
- Interviews of senior personnel
- A review of permit files
- Interviews with pipe suppliers
- A review of over 2,500 water system map record drawings
- A review of water quality data
- A review of current and historical standard operating procedures for the installation of water service lines
- A statistical analysis of a representative sample of unknown service lines that were physically verified by vacuum excavation
- A review of service line materials physically verified during meter reading, meter testing, meter replacement, service line repair, service line replacement, water main repair, water main replacement, and backflow device inspection.
