Abstract

In the United States, all community and nontransient noncommunity water systems are required to submit an inventory describing the location and makeup of all service lines in their service areas.

While the material can be designated as lead, galvanized requiring replacement, nonlead, or unknown, the last two designations require additional steps to be taken in the proposed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI).

Some utilities have few or no lead service lines, and this inventory requirement, issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), may be burdensome to those utilities.

This article demonstrates the methodology in EPA's proposed LCRI for verification of construction material, and an alternate validation procedure is proposed.

编制服务管线清单：引线有限的公用事业公司指南

在美国，所有社区和非临时性非社区供水系统都必须提交一份清单，说明其服务区域内所有供水管道的位置和构成。虽然材料可以被指定为含铅、需要更换的镀锌、无铅或未知，但后两种指定要求在拟议的铅铜规则改进（LCRI）中采取额外的步骤。有些公用事业公司只有很少或根本没有含铅的服务管路，美国环保署 (EPA) 发布的这一清单要求可能会给这些公用事业公司带来负担。本文展示了 EPA 提议的 LCRI 中用于验证建筑材料的方法，并提出了另一种验证程序。
