Lead Service Line Inspections

Crescenta Valley Water District has completed the initial lead service line inventory required by U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. The deadline for the initial inventories is October 16, 2024.

Through completing a historical records review and field investigations, Crescenta Valley Water District has determined it has no lead or galvanized requiring replacement service lines in its distribution system. This includes any privately-owned and customer-owned service lines.

Crescenta Valley Water District reviewed all applicable sources of information, including:

·         All construction and plumbing codes, permits, and existing records or other documentation which indicates the service line materials.

·         All water system records, including distribution system maps and drawings, historical records on each service connection, meter installation records, historical         capital improvement or master plans, and standard operating procedures.

·         The inspection records from the Water Meter Replacement Program were reviewed for CVWD's inventory. In 2012, field staff began cleaning and inspecting             both  the system-owned portion and customer portion to identify the service line material, service size, and appurtenances in the meter pits. The inspection was       completed in early October 2024.

·         All previous service line or meter replacements were conducted.

In addition to reviewing the above sources of information, Crescenta Valley Water District physically inspected all service lines in its distribution system, regardless of ownership. All service lines were verified non-lead, copper, and plastic.

Crescenta Valley Water District will update service line material information obtained from normal operations, such as service line maintenance, installation, or water meter readings, after October 2024 and will update the initial inventory accordingly.
