PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City is seeking the services of an engineering consultant or contractor to develop a process to prepare and maintain an inventory of service line materials to comply with the December 16, 2021 Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and implemented by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). This is an unfunded federal mandate. It requires City staff or an outside contractor to locate each service line connected to the municipal system and identify the construction material for each service line. This process would also allow the City to develop the required Service Line Inventory, which would classify the service lines for reporting to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) no later than October 2024.
