The U.S. EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) mandates that all community water systems and non-transient non-community water systems complete and submit a comprehensive inventory of all service lines connected to the distribution system, including those not currently in use. Inventories must be submitted to the IDNR by October 16th, 2024. - Submission Deadline: October 16th, 2024
- Required Information: Inventories must be developed using the DNR’s lead service line inventory template, available on the Iowa DNR Lead Service Line Inventories website: https://www.iowadnr.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water-Quality/Drinking-Water-Compliance/Lead-Service-Line-Inventories. Your inventory must include details on the ownership, material classification, and verification source for each service line.
- How to Submit: Upload your inventory using the new login feature of the Iowa Drinking Water Data Portal, which is now available for use by system operators and administrative staff: https://programs.iowadnr.gov/iowadrinkingwater. There is a detailed instructional video and a Data Checker tool for validation on the Iowa DNR Lead Service Line Inventories website (see above).
