Our Subsurface Utility Engineering Experts Can Help Cities Meet New EPA Lead Pipe Replacement Deadlines
December 11th, 2024 by Ryan M. Grab, CST II
In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a regulation to control lead and copper in drinking water. This regulation is known as the Lead and Copper Rule (also referred to as the LCR). Since 1991, the LCR has undergone various revisions. In October 2024, the EPA issued a final rule requiring drinking water systems across the country to identify and replace lead pipes within 10 years, a step aimed at making America’s drinking water safer and cleaner for all consumers. DRMP’s Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) experts are ready and able to assist with pipe location and inspection to help clients meet the 10-year deadline.

Compounding the flooding, these areas are typically economically disadvantaged, and limited resources combined with insufficient funding, hinder the efforts to improve the infrastructure needed to tackle these flooding problems correctly. DRMP actively contributed to efforts aimed at addressing these challenges through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations (WFPO) Program.
