2023 Updates & Resources

On February 1, 2023, Hawai'i DOH-SDWB issued the document below about the Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) that is required under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR).  Basically, DOH-SDWB strongly recommends that the template developed by USEPA for the inventory be used.  However, if a water system wants to use its own template, the water system should make sure that its inventory covers all the elements of the USEPA template.  DOH-SDWB would like to review a template that is not the USEPA template before the system submits the final inventory to DOH-SDWB.  The link to the USEPA template is at:

https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/revised-lead-and-copper-rule


If a water system finds lead lines or lines of unknown material (which is assumed to be lead under the LCRR), a Lead Service Line Replacement Plan needs to be developed.  Both the LSLI and Lead Service Line Replacement Plan (if applicable) must be submitted to DOH-SDWB by October 16, 2024.

Please also remember that the LCRR applies ONLY to water systems that are classified as community water systems or non-transient non-community water systems.  If your water system is not classified as these types of systems, the LCRR does not apply to your water system.  If you are unsure of the classification of your water system, please contact DOH-SDWB.

On January 26, 2023, HRWA met with the Hawai`i DOH-SDWB to get clarification on parts of the new Lead and Copper Rule Revisions.  During the meeting:
​
  • DOH-SDWB STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that a water system use the waterline inventory template that USEPA issued in August 2022.  If the water system does not want to use the USEPA template, DOH-SDWB would like to see what the water system's format for the inventory will look like now rather than later.  Basically, DOH-SDWB wants to approve the waterline inventory template a system uses if the format is different from the USEPA template.  They want to make sure the elements in the USEPA template are addressed in the system's own inventory format.  The link to USEPA's waterline inventory guidance document and associated template can be found at:

           https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/revised-lead-and-copper-rule

  • A copy of the completed waterline inventory is due to DOH-SDWB by October 16, 2024.  If a water system has unknown material lines (which are assumed to be lead) and/or has lead lines, a Lead Service Line Replacement Plan also needs to be submitted to DOH-SDWB by October 16, 2024.
  • DOH-SDWB has not yet issued guidance on where a utility's responsibility ends, and the homeowner's responsibility begins with respect to the waterlines under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions.

Please contact HRWA if you have any questions or need assistance.
