Lead and Copper Project

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently revised the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) to strengthen protections against lead exposure in drinking water.  In California, this means public water systems must update their practices to meet more stringent standards.

For Nevada Irrigation District (NID), compliance with the revised LCR requires creating an inventory of water service line materials throughout the District. By October 2024, NID must map these materials and make the information publicly accessible, ensuring transparency and adherence to the EPA’s updated guidelines. This effort will help protect the health of customers by identifying and addressing any lead-related risks in the water supply.
