Public Workshop: Lead Service Line Inventory

July 31 @ 5:00 pm

The City of Mulberry is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct an inventory of all potable water lines within the City. All water providers in the United States are required to complete their inventory prior to October 16, 2024. As part of this inventory the City is required to verify the pipe material of all water service lines and the presence of any lead pipe materials. The goal of this inventory is to locate all lead water service lines.

The presence of lead in drinking water poses a potential health risk to customers especially children and pregnant women. To keep the City residents informed of upcoming inventory efforts, the City of Mulberry is holding a public workshop at the Civic Center on July 31, 2024 at 5 PM.

The Lead Service Line Inventory will be completed in two phases on or adjacent to your property:

PHASE 1 – Locating all City water meters. This phase has already been completed by the City.

PHASE 2 – Excavating water service lines to determine pipe materials. The City must provide reasonable proof of the material type via historical records, pipe excavation, etc. The excavation will likely include uncovering a small section of service line on both sides of the meter. This process will be completed and documented following the EPA’s template with both Mulberry and Pennoni staff.

The City of Mulberry and Pennoni (City Engineer) will handle all inventory efforts and no action will be required by the residents of Mulberry. However, onsite knowledge of water service line location and materials can be provided by the homeowners to assist the City.

Any further questions will be answered at the Public Workshop at the Civic Center on July 31, 2024 at 5 PM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
