Anthony Eagan, P.E. of D&B Engineers and Architects recently presented a Lead/Copper Ruling Compliance Forum regarding the latest ruling issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA). The thorough presentation included a step-by-step process of how water service suppliers such as the 21 Commission-Elected Districts must comply with the latest ruling from the national agency.
During the past few months, residents and commercial owners across Long Island may have received a letter from their local water service provider indicating if the water lines located in their homes or business are made of lead, galvanized steel, or non-leadmaterials. A national ruling was issued by the EPA for all water service providers across the country to take full inventory of water service lines in an effort to remove any possible lead from drinking water. The extensive EPA ruling overview delivered by Mr. Eagan included guidance, direction, and recommendations for Districts to prepare and deliver communications to customers of the inventory that was taken during a mandated three-year period.
