SERVICE LINE INVENTORY

IMG_3364.JPG

A LEAD-FREE SYSTEM

Although the District has never installed lead service lines, it is possible, though unlikely, that they may exist on the customer-owned portion of the line for homes built prior to the establishment of the District in 1956. Starting in March of 2021 Ute Water began a systematic inventory of every one of our 30,000+ service connections in order to identify the pipe material of the entire service line. This information will be used to help facilitate the removal and replacement of any lead service lines found in the District regardless of ownership. Please browse the information below to see how you can help.

​

On January 16, 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published final regulatory revisions to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for lead and copper under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The revisions are intended to provide greater and more effective protection of public health by reducing potential exposure to lead in drinking water. Due to the size and scope of regulatory changes, EPA set a regulatory compliance date of January 16, 2024 in order to give public water systems the time necessary to fully address the revisions. Ute Water is preparing now for rule implementation to ensure we continue to provide our customers with water of the highest quality which is fully compliant with all regulations of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
