Service Line Material Inventory

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) went into effect in 2021.

Under the LCRR, all Public Water Systems in Wisconsin were required to submit an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by October 16, 2024.

In addition to submitting an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the DNR, all public water systems must make their inventory publicly accessible.

The inventory includes the entire water service line from the water main. The ownership terms  used in the DNR materials inventory are defined as follows:

• Street-Side: The portion of the water service line that is typically owned by the water system. This usually includes the service from the water main to a curb stop or shut-off valve. - Municipality is responsible.
• Property-Side: The portion of the water service line that is typically not owned by the water system. This usually includes the service line from the curb stop or shut-off valve to the interior of the building or structure. - Private property owner is responsible.

New Berlin's water mains and service lines do NOT contain any lead.
