Important Update for Frederick Residents: Ensuring Safe Drinking Water

To align with the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) effective December 16, 2021, the City of Frederick is taking proactive steps to enhance the safety of our drinking water system. As part of these efforts, we are initiating an extensive inventory of lead service lines within our water infrastructure.

Lead service lines can pose potential risks to public health if not properly managed. The LCRR aims to mitigate these risks by requiring utilities to identify and eventually replace lead service lines. The City of Frederick is committed to complying with these regulations to ensure the continued delivery of safe and clean drinking water to all residents.

Your participation in our lead service line inventory is crucial. By visiting our dedicated survey page at City of Frederick Lead Inventory Survey, you can provide valuable information that will assist us in accurately identifying lead service lines throughout our community. This information will guide our future actions to prioritize replacements where necessary and ensure compliance with EPA standards.

For more detailed information on this initiative and to participate in the survey, please visit City of Frederick Lead Inventory. Your engagement is vital in our collective effort to maintain high standards of water safety for everyone in Frederick.
