WATER SERVICE LINE INVENTORY

Sutter Community Services District completed the initial inventory of our water service lines as required by U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. The deadline for the initial inventories was October 16, 2024.

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

Sutter Community Services District reviewed all applicable sources of information, including

·         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;

·         All inspections and records of the distribution system that indicate service line material, including inspections conducted during the course of normal operations (e.g., checking service line materials when reading water meters or performing maintenance activities); and

·         All previous service line or meter replacements were conducted. 

In addition to reviewing the above sources of information, Sutter Community Services District physically inspected all service lines in its distribution system, regardless of ownership. All service lines were verified non-lead copper, plastic, or galvanized.

Water service line inventories were submitted to the State Division of Drinking Water (DDW), which enforces the California Lead and Copper Rule to comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. 

Sutter Community Services 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.
