Background
The original federal Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) was published in 1991 by the U.S. Environmental

with chemicals precipitating from old lead and copper service lines and water mains. Several revisions
have occurred since then. The most recent comprehensive revisions to the LCR were published in 2022
(Lead and Copper Rule Revisions — LCRR). These recent revisions require all water utilities to develop
new testing and treatment protocol, service line identification/replacement plans, as well as public outreach
and notification plans. The submission of a comprehensive lead service line replacement plan has a
compliance deadline set by the USEPA in October 2024.
The Consultant (HDR) will provide professional services and technical assistance to the City of Lubbock
