What to Know:
In 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule. In accordance with this ruling, the EPA is requiring all water providers to identify and create an inventory of all water service lines within their distribution system. The goal of this program is to identify lead service lines that may still be in existence. The EPA has confirmed an October 2024 deadline to complete and submit this inventory to the State of Colorado Department of Public Safety.
How Can I Help?
The EPA in partnership with CDPHE is requiring that water providers identify the material of all privately owned water services. This portion of the line extends from the back of your water meter to your residence, where it eventually connects to your indoor plumbing. The entire section of this line is commonly found on private property, and therefore, the City does not have adequate records to demonstrate what the pipe material is.
The City of Wray is asking for your help in identifying and reporting your service line material and has created a voluntary Lead Service Line Inventory Survey to walk you through the necessary steps in identifying your service line material. As part of this process, you will be asked a series of questions followed by a request to photograph and submit an image of the service line.
Locate and visually inspect the service line as it enters the house or building, if accessible. This is usually located on the lowest floor or crawlspace facing the street. The service line is usually either the pipe sticking out from the foundation wall or coming up from the ground before reaching a shut-off valve (see photo to the right). Be careful not to confuse the line with the sewer or gas line. Homes built after 1988 are not expected to have lead service lines or lead plumbing. Search the county assessor's office records or realty websites such as Zillow to check your home's build date.
Based on the appearance, testing, or existing records, please select the appropriate material of your water service line.
Please provide the install date of your water service line. If you do not know the install date, please provide the year the home or building was built.
How did you determine the material of your water service line?
Please provide the account number found on your City of Wray Utility Bill.
If available, please submit an image of the service line.
