FPB water service line inventory underway; asking customers to assist with survey

FPB is conducting a water service line inventory to meet new requirements of the federal government. The Water Dept. needs customer assistance to complete the inventory of customer-owned lines.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently revised the 1991 Lead and Copper Rule. As part of the revision, FPB is currently conducting a water service line inventory of both the customer-owned service line and the utility-owned side of the service line. The inventory must be complete by October 2024.

FPB will conduct the inventory survey on public lines. In an effort to keep water rates affordable, FPB needs customers to assist completing the inventory on the customer side of the meter.

FPB is providing information to customers including an instructional video on its website to help customers determine what type of water service line is in their homes. Visit www.fpb.cc/servicelineinventory for information on how to conduct the inventory and submit the survey. For additional assistance, call 502-352-4433.

As inventory work progresses and provides valuable information, FPB will formulate a cost effective plan for complying with the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revision and will work with each affected customer on an individual basis to ensure safeguards are in place to protect their health.
