Water Service Line Inventory
The City of Waverly's Water Division is required to submit a water service line inventory to Iowa Department of Natural Resources. This inventory is required by the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR).
You can read more about the LCRR on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s website.
In the inventory, each property's water service line is given one of the following classifications:
- Unknown - but installed after 1988 (this is when installation of lead service lines was prohibited)
- Copper
- Plastic
- Other (non-lead)
- Unknown - but could contain lead
- Galvanized Iron/Steel
- Lead
The City needs to classify properties that are listed as unknown - but could contain lead (based on the date of construction).
The City will continue to update our water service line inventory to identify potential sources of lead in drinking water. If your household received a text, a doorhanger or a notice in the mail, please check your water service line (as directed below) and report the service line material.
