The City of Plantation has completed the initial lead service line inventory required by the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions.

Through completing a historical records review, field investigations, and predictive modeling, the City of Plantation has determined it has no lead or galvanized requiring replacement service lines in its distribution system. This includes any utility-owned or customer-owned service lines.

The City of Plantation reviewed all applicable sources of information, including:

• Construction and plumbing codes, permits, and existing records or other documentation which indicates the service line materials;
• Water system records, including distribution system maps and drawings, historical records on each service connection, meter installation records, historical capital improvement or master plans, and standard operating procedures; and
• Inspections and records of the distribution system that indicate service line material, including inspections conducted during the course of normal operations (e.g., checking service line materials when reading water meters or performing maintenance activities).

Through our consultant engineer, Hazen & Sawyer, the City of Plantation also used predictive modeling aimed at identifying the material composition of service lines. The predictive model was trained and tested on field verified service line material data and achieved an overall accuracy of 95%, exceeding Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s requirement for 90% accuracy and meeting the requirement for a 95% confidence interval. 

All service lines inspected were verified non-lead and no lead or galvanized requiring replacement service lines were identified.

The City of Plantation continues to document service line material information obtained from normal operations, such as service line maintenance or water meter readings, and will update the initial inventory accordingly.
