Welcome to the Free LCRR Training for the Direct Responsible in Charge of Public Water Systems. In this course, the Direct Responsible in Charge of your water system will be examining the new lead and copper rule revisions (LCRR) to implement successful rule revisions in your water system. The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) were effective on December 16, 2021. All Community and Non-Transient Non-Community water systems must develop an inventory to identify the materials of service lines connected to their water distribution system. Public Water Systems (PWSs) must develop an initial lead service line inventory by October 16, 2024. Lead pipes and fixtures still exist in our country – 11,000 communities, to be more specific– no amount of lead is safe. Replacing 100% of the existing lead pipes in our country sounds daunting; however, for the first time in decades, water professionals could solve some of the most challenging industry-wide problems. We know the tasks set before you are a huge undertaking, but the EPA has made unprecedented amounts of funding available to assist systems in the goal of identifying and replacing all lead service lines in our great nation. As a water operator professional, your number one priority is public health protection. Your duty is to uphold professional standards for the operation and maintenance of water systems. Fighting through the hardships of day-to-day operations, being short-staffed, and managing limited resources, you are the gatekeepers for safe, clean drinking water.
