Lead & Copper: Division of Drinking Water

Find comprehensive resources and essential guidance for Utah’s public water systems on Lead and Copper Rule compliance, management, and effective solutions for safe drinking water.

For water systems

Water system deadlines

All water system deadlines

Dec. 1, 2025 – Annual repeat of service line material public notifications are due.

July 1, 2026 – Water systems must submit a certificate of delivery for the service line material, public notifications to the Division of Drinking Water

Lead & copper sampling

Lead and Copper samples must be collected and submitted according to your water system’s monitoring schedule and Sample Site Plan.

Learn how to collect, where to take your samples and how often your system should be reporting results.

Lead service line inventory & replacement

Find guidance on how to complete your water system’s inventory. Funding is available for replacing Lead, or Galvanized Requiring Replacement (GRR) and possible reimbursement for your water system’s efforts in completing the service line inventory.

Lead-Free Learning

We are partnering with schools and childcare centers to test every consumable tap and work towards our shared goal of lead-free learning. Sampling and remediation resources are available. Water systems can verify the list of schools and childcare facilities that they serve.

About lead & copper

Lead and copper are naturally occurring metals that have often been used in indoor plumbing. Pipes and plumbing may contain lead, copper, or their alloys, such as brass; some solder used at copper pipe joints may also contain lead. Water, particularly corrosive water, can dissolve small amounts of these metals into drinking water. The potential for leaching increases the longer the water is in contact with plumbing components.

In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) to control lead and copper levels in drinking water. The LCR requires public drinking water systems to monitor drinking water at customer taps. If more than 10 percent of customer taps exceed the lead or copper action levels, the water system must implement processes to control corrosion.

More information about the lead and copper rule can be found at EPAs website.
