From EPA Website On August 4, 2022, EPA released Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory to support water systems with their efforts to develop inventories and to provide states with needed information for oversight and reporting to EPA. The guidance provides essential information to help water systems comply with the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions requirement to prepare and maintain an inventory of service line materials by October 16, 2024. Specifically, EPA’s Lead Service Line Inventory guidance: - Provides best practices for inventory development and communicating information to the public.
- Includes a template for water systems, states, and Tribes to use or adapt to create their own inventory.
- Contains case studies on developing, reviewing, and communicating about inventories.
- Highlights the importance of prioritizing inventory development in disadvantaged communities and where children live and play.
EPA is harmonizing regulatory requirements with unprecedented funding through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make rapid progress on removing harmful lead from America’s drinking water. Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory (pdf) (6.98 MB, August 4, 2022, 816-B-22-001) Inventory Template (xlsx) (1.53 MB, August 4, 2022) Press Release Upcoming Webinar- On August 10, 2022, EPA will host a webinar: Getting the Lead Out: Guidance for Developing Service Line Inventories and Funding Information on BIL (2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT). This webinar will provide an overview of EPA’s Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory and provide information on addressing lead with the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). - Registration information available Here
**Note from Iowa DNR: We are currently reviewing the 160 page guidance document and performing a crosswalk of our draft lead service line inventory template with the example template that EPA has released. We will need time to ensure that we understand the guidance and make any modifications necessary to our template based upon pilot testing and the EPA guidance. We encourage you to review the guidance and register for the webinar, but as an agency we have not finalized our template or made decisions on items that EPA has left to the state's discretion.

In IAMU’s member communities, water facilities are critical infrastructure and are often among the largest consumers of energy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the Power Resilience Guide to include more information, tools, and case studies on implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies at drinking water and wastewater utilities. EPA is hosting two, two-part virtual workshops this summer to engage drinking water and wastewater utilities, water associations, state and federal agencies, and other stakeholders on the current practices, opportunities, and challenges in increasing energy efficiency measures and utilizing renewable energy to increase power resilience at water utilities. The first workshop for Energy efficiency at Water Utilities has passed, however there are great resources here on this workshop. To register for the upcoming workshop on Renewable Energy At Water Utilities, click here. For more information please view these documents: Flyer Agenda

The EPA Office of Water is sponsoring a one-day virtual Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) workshop, Tuesday, April 5, 2022, to help water and wastewater utilities in EPA Region 7 states (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska), as well as their response partners to better understand ICS, integrate with other first responders within an expanding ICS structure, and implement NIMS concepts and principles that will help utilities provide mutual aid and assistance to one another. The specific courses offered as part of this virtual workshop are: - IS-100.C – Introduction to the Incident Command System
- IS-700.B – An Introduction to the National Incident
Management System

Time: Wednesday, December 8, 2021 | 1:00 - 2:00 PM CST This one-hour webinar will introduce the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s new Energy Savings and Impacts Scenario Tool (ESIST) to be launched the same day. ESIST is a customizable and transparent Excel-based planning tool for analyzing the energy savings and costs from energy efficiency programs and their impacts on emissions, public health, and equity. Users can generate energy efficiency scenarios from 2010–2040 at different geographical resolutions, ranging from national- or state-level analysis to different customer sectors within specific utilities. ESIST enables users to develop scenarios and estimate the multiple benefits of electric customer-funded energy efficiency investments–including avoided emissions, public health benefits, peak demand impacts, and energy burden reductions–and review customer demographic data. ESIST is a scenario planning tool that balances complexity and relative ease of use, combining several publicly available and peer-reviewed data sets. Users can customize data assumptions or use default values. During this webinar, EPA will provide an overview of the tool, describe use cases, and a perform a demonstration for users. Speakers: - Maggie Molina, EPA’s State and Local Climate and Energy Program
- Cassandra Kubes, EPA’s State and Local Climate and Energy Program
- Patrick Knight, Synapse Energy Economics
