The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently revised its Lead and Copper Rule to reduce exposure of lead through drinking water nationwide. Performing a service line inventory is part of our ongoing work to meet those regulations.
Under guidance from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the City of Monroe examined historical water system records and performed visual inspections of all service lines in Monroe at each water meter.
Based on visual inspection, the City found no lead service lines in these inspections. Please read here for more information.
