Lead and copper rules are federal. The water-notice is still a local paragraph.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
September 12, 2026
EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule improvements are a public regulatory topic. The agency’s pages explain the federal floor. A utility’s consumer notice is a different document with its own required elements.
This publisher desk is not issuing a water-quality report. The point for filers is narrower: if you publish a hearing about a line-replacement program or a rate case that mentions lead service lines, write the local program. Point at the utility page or the EPA rule page you used. Do not paste a national press-office paragraph into the legal advertisement.
The affidavit will list your run dates, not EPA’s.
