Lead and Copper Inventory

The US EPA has a Lead and Copper Rule that aims to reduce exposure to lead and copper from drinking water service lines constructed on private property. This requires the City to conduct an inventory of all the private plumbing systems to document the material of the underground water pipeline connecting to the City’s water meter, as Lead, Non-lead (copper, plastic, etc.) or Galvanized. Note that this is the underground pipeline located between the City’s water meter and your building facility/house. The City contracted with Golden Meters Service Inc. (GMS) to conduct and submit the material inventory to the State Water Resource Control Board. For more information, please click on the link.(PDF, 603KB)

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a federally funded program to increase the number of children who walk or bike to school in the US. Not only is it healthier for the children, but it reduces the number of cars and air pollution around the schools, and creates a more vibrant community.
