Lead Service Line Survey

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead-Copper Rule Revision requires all community water suppliers and non-transient non-community water supplies to develop and submit a Lead Service Line Inventory to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (Iowa DNR) by October 16, 2024.

The city will need to identify the type of service lines for ALL properties connected to the city’s public water supply, regardless of ownership status. This does not mean service lines need to be replaced by the deadline, only identified. At a minimum, the city will need to determine if the service lines are classified as lead, galvanized requiring replacement, non-lead or unknown.

In an effort to better manage resources and costs, the city is asking for help from residents and business owners to self-identify their property’s private service line material. As a result, a Lead Service Line Survey has been created to gather all required information.

This survey is available on the front page of the City’s website, www.westburlingtoniowa.gov, for residents to complete and submit online. For those residents that do not wish to complete the survey online, you may complete the adjoining questionnaire and return it to the city. Additional paper copies are at City Hall located at 122 Broadway Street. If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at (319)752-5451.
