In 1991 the federal government published a regulation called “Lead & Copper Rule.” Since then, this rule has undergone both major and minor changes based upon the regulatory environment and evolving scientific data. While previous guidelines meant this rule only applied to larger municipalities, changes over the years have made it so now smaller municipalities like ours are required to comply as well.
In order to make the most efficient use of our Borough’s limited resources as well as avoid imposing unnecessarily on resident’s time and homes in trying to access their water meters and lines, we are requesting that each water service customer “Take Three” (or more) photos and submit them to the Borough.
Photos Needed:
1. We are attempting to determine whether your incoming waterline is lead or copper so we will need at least one photo of the water line as it enters your home.
2. We also need to verify our water service data. For this, we need a photo of the water meter showing the meter serial number
3. Lastly, we need to verify that your water meter head is not part of a recall. For this, we need a photo of the reader head with the current meter reading.
Images can be submitted using the QR code, clicking here or by emailing the photos with your name, address and phone number, to water@shoeyboro.org
