The Environmental Protection Agency recently released lead and copper rule revisions requiring public water systems to identify the composition of all service lines and create a replacement plan for those lines containing lead or galvanized material that does not meet current standards.
To date, the City of Bartow has inspected approximately two-thirds of the water service lines and process is ongoing. In November 2024, water customers whose service lines have been identified as requiring replacement or have not yet been inspected will receive a letter from the City notifying them of this status. Addresses that did not receive a letter have service lines free of lead.
