The Ashley Valley Water & Sewer Improvement District has requested the public’s help as they work to comply with revisions made by the EPA to the Lead and Copper rule. Along with every other water system, the District is required to conduct and maintain a location-based Lead Service Line inventory to be completed by October 16th, 2024. “Ashley Valley Water and Sewer Improvement District has started the inventory process by reviewing construction records, capital project as-builts, and county records to discover homes that were built when the plumbing code still allowed lead lines,” shares the District’s announcement. “Our initial review has determined that roughly 50% of the existing connections in the district were built after LSLs were banned from the International Plumbing Code amended by Utah Code. This still means that there are thousands of lines that need to be surveyed and verified before the deadline.” Based on the information gathered, the District will also have to develop a plan with goals for replacing the Lead Service Lines. All within the District are asked to link to the survey through www.AVWSID.com to answer quick questions about your service line.
