Project No. 26501

Project Start Date: Fall 2023     

Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2031

Project Manager: Russell Chambers 703-771-2728

Project Description: The project undertakes the identification and replacement of residential water service lines constructed of lead materials as required under the recently updated Environmental Protection Agency's Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (EPA-LCRR) scheduled to take effect in the fall of 2024. Improving the town's water infrastructure through the removal of lead service lines is vital to protecting public health and reducing exposure to lead. Lead service lines were outlawed as a construction material in the mid 1980's.

Project Updates: As of April 2024 - The town kicked off the service line inventory campaign in order to identify the unknown material of approximately 2,000 service lines. Town staff began the inventory by researching historical records in August 2023. The Town will submit the required service line inventory to Virginia Department of Health by October 16, 2024. The Town continues to monitor and complete tasks related to LCRR and upcoming LCRI.
