Town to mail EPA-required postcard asking residents to help inventory service lines
Summary
The town said residents will receive a postcard as part of an EPA-required inventory to identify possible lead service lines; the notice will include phone numbers and a QR code for online responses.
Town staff told residents to expect a postcard from the town required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help inventory water-service lines and locate possible lead pipes. The clerk said the postcard will direct residents to a QR code and phone numbers to provide information and that the town does not yet know whether lines are underground.
"The town is required by the EPA to take a, inventory of the service lines for your water," the clerk said, and residents were advised to watch for the mail and follow the instructions on the notice. The town emphasized that this is an EPA information-gathering requirement rather than a billing change and that staff would be available for questions.
