Pipe Inventory Program
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), which require all U.S. utilities with water distribution systems to develop a comprehensive water service line material inventory, implement new compliance sampling standards, and make the results publicly available.
The City has developed the Pipe Inventory Program to provide resources for our customers and help you navigate any action you may need to take. Our webpage also includes information about reducing lead exposure.
Lead levels in Lakeland are not a public health concern and the likelihood of finding lead service lines is low. Florida does not have a high occurrence of lead, and Lakeland has prohibited the use of lead in water pipe construction since 1977. However, we have developed a service line replacement plan in the event lead pipe material is detected.
Protecting water quality is a top priority, with Lakeland consistently meeting or exceeding state and federal drinking water standards. This is demonstrated in our water sampling and annual drinking water quality reports.
For more information on reducing lead exposure and the health effects of lead, visit the EPA website at www.epa.gov/lead, or contact your health-care provider.
