Through its Get the Lead Out (GLO) Initiative, EPA will partner with 200 underserved communities nationwide to provide the technical assistance they need to identify and remove lead service lines. Specifically, EPA will work support the development of:
- Lead Service Line Inventories that meet 2021 Lead and Copper Rule Revisions requirements deadline. An Inventory is necessary to fully identify the funding needs of the community.
- Community Engagement Plans that invite community input, provide educational resources, and meaningfully engage affected community members while identifying and replacing lead service lines.
- Lead Service Line Replacement Plans to provide each municipality a roadmap for 100% identification and full replacement of all lead service lines, including public and private portions.
- State Revolving Fund (SRF) Applications to help communities fund their service line replacement. Each recipient of this technical assistance will receive a customized plan to facilitate their work with the state.
Additionally, EPA will develop tools and case studies to share information and best practices between the Agency, state and Tribal programs, water system managers, and community leaders.
