Lead and Copper Rule Revisions Service Line Inventory Guidance
All VA Medical Centers (VAMC) must conduct a lead line survey of their potable water systems, consisting of all service lines external to the building(s) to the first point of entry shutoff valve or backflow preventer. These service lines may be owned wholly by the water system or facility, or in some cases, ownership may be split between the two. Surveys must follow the process outlined by the EPA, and results must be documented using the EPA’s Lead Service Line Inventory Form or state-level form (if required by the state’s regulatory organization).
