Water Pipe Database
Background
As part of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, all water utilities are now required to develop a database of the material of the pipe leading from the water main in the street to homes and businesses.
While we have very good records of the KWD-owned portion of the service line, we haven’t previously needed to track the material of the portion of the service pipe from the property line into your home or business.
It is important to develop and maintain this database as it serves as the foundation for utilities to act if lead levels are discovered above the drinking water limit. With that said, the Kennebec Water District does not have any records of lead service lines in the distribution system and recent lead testing identified that lead levels were below all drinking water limits.
