Lead Service Line Inventory

On January 15, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) that went into effect on December 16, 2021. The LCRR amended the Lead and Copper Rule (40 CFR sections 141.80-.91).  

The LCRR requires all community and non-transient non-community public water systems to create an inventory of all service lines. Initial lead service line inventories must be submitted to the appropriate DEP Regulatory District Office or Approved County Health Department (ACHD) no later than October 16, 2024.

EPA developed a spreadsheet template that public water systems may use to organize their Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI). Florida has determined that to provide consistency throughout the State, and to efficiently manage, analyze and report data, CWS’s and NTNC’s should utilize EPA's LSLI template for the required LSLI submittal, as required by 40 CFR § 141.84(a)(1) and 141.90(e)(1). When filling out the template, please reference the State of Florida LSLI guidance.
