Lead Service Line Replacement Plan (LSLRP) Summary
Lead Service Line Replacement Plan (LSLRP) Summary
BACKGROUND & INSTRUCTIONS
MassDEP will use the information in this LSLRP Summary to provide technical assistance to your system and assist your system to identify resources to further develop and implement your plan and replace all lead service lines. This information is not intended for enforcement purposes.
All public water systems (PWS) with one or more lead, galvanized requiring replacement (GRR), or lead status unknown service lines in their distribution system must complete and submit a lead service line replacement plan to the Department by October 16, 2024. According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) "Because no safe blood level has been identified for young children, all sources of lead exposure for children should be controlled or eliminated". See https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/prevention/sources/water.htm. As such, MassDEP is encouraging PWS to plan to expeditiously remove all lead service lines.
PWSs seeking Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (DWSRF) to address lead service lines are expected to complete the MassDEP Lead Service Line Inventory Workbook and this Lead Service Line Replacement Plan Summary Form or provide comparable electronic data that is acceptable to the Department.
