We were required to develop and submit to the state an initial service line inventory that includes all service lines connected to the public water distribution system and characterize the material of those service lines as either lead, galvanized requiring replacement, non-lead, or lead status unknown. Our system failed to submit an initial inventory including lines to the South Carolina Bureau of Water by October 16, 2024

Although the failure to report the initial inventory to the state does not create a risk to the public health, we are required to inform you of this violation and provide additional information including what we did to correct the situation.

There is nothing you need to do this time. You do not need to boil your water or take other actions. Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.

For more information on reducing lead exposure around your home/ building and the health effects of lead, visit the EPA'S websites at http://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and drinking -water/basic-information-about-lead-drinking-water and http://www.epa.gov/lead.

We completed the initial service line inventory and recently submitted it to South Carolina Bureau of Water on November 18, 2024
