The act directs covered public water systems to submit an inventory and summary of their service lines to find out about the presence of lead. These inventories will include information on if lead service lines are present and where they’re located. The summaries will give information on how many there are, as well as other types of service lines in the system. The initial inventories and summaries are due October 16, 2024.
The New York Department of Health will make this information publicly available online within 30 days of receiving the inventories and summaries. For systems serving over 10,000 people, the Department will make interactive, searchable maps of the lead service line inventories available online, unless the water system maintains its own map on its website.
