EPA required annual notification lead line
PLEASE NOTE THE NUMBER PRINTED ON THE MAILED FORM IS INCORRECT - IT STATES 910-658-9536 - IT SHOULD BE 919-658-9536.
The EPA requires water systems to notify customers annually about known or potential service lines containing lead, galvanized requiring replacement (GRR), or lead status unknown. This notification must be sent out by December 31st each year until the service line is confirmed to be non-lead. The notification must include information about the health effects of lead, steps to reduce exposure, and opportunities for replacement of the service line. Water systems must also certify to the state that they have completed the required customer notices
As part of the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) published December 16, 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that all community water systems (CWS) and non-transient non-community (NTNC) water systems develop an inventory of all service line connections, both system-owned and customer-owned.
The letter enclosed in the mailing acts as the required notification. This is the same notification received by customers on January 9, 2026.
The Town of Mount Olive is working on a meter replacement project at which time the lines will be identified. Due to government shutdowns the town has not received the FCC licenses for the water meters which has delayed the project. The town is working to move the project. Once complete line will have been identified. By receiving this letter does not mean that there is lead in the water. This letter is to provide information to our customers, so you understand what to look for and what to do if you suspect there is lead in your water. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at 919-658-9536.
