Reminder: Lead Service Inventory Submissions Due to IDNR October 16th

Posted By Administration, Wednesday, September 18, 2024
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). Please attempt to utilize the portal for uploading your inventory, but if you are not able to submit your inventory online, you can email it to lcrr@dnr.iowa.gov
  • Public Availability: The inventory must be made publicly accessible, and systems service over 50,000 people must provide online access to the inventory.
Please ensure that your inventory is complete, accurate, and submitted by the deadline. Failure to comply may result in regulatory action by the EPA.
If your system contains lead service lines, galvanized requiring replacement (GRR) lines, or unknown materials, you will also need to notify the people served by these lines within 30 days after October 16, 2024. The Iowa DNR will provide public notice templates to assist with this requirement. We will post examples of these templates on the Iowa DNR Lead Service Line Inventories website as soon as they are available.
