Service Line Inventory

Service Line inventory

We were required to develop and submit to the State an initial service line inventory that includes all service lines connected to the public water distribution system and characterize the material of those service lines as either lead, galvanized required replacement, non-lead , or lead status unknown. Our system failed to submit an initial inventory of service lines to the Environmental Protection Agency and NYS Department of Health by October 16, 2024.

We developed the initial inventory and notified persons served at service connections with service lines made lead, galvanized, or unknow material on 2/13/05. The inventory is available to the public at www.townofchamplain.com.

Although the failure to report the initial inventory to the State does not create a risk to public health, we are required to inform you of this violation and provide additional information including what we did to correct the solution.

There is nothing you need to do at this time. You do not need to boil your water or take other actions. Remember, boil water does not remove lead from water.
