San Luis, Arizona – After a comprehensive inspection in compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines regarding the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, the San Luis Water Division reported that the city's water system is free of lead pipes.
In June 2024, the City of San Luis Public Works Department initiated a comprehensive water service line inventory on the entire water system, focusing on all services established in 1986 or earlier. The city is proud to report the absence of lead service lines by October 16, 2024.
To ensure compliance with the updated EPA guidelines for lead and copper monitoring by public drinking water providers, the City of San Luis Water Division collaborated with WestLand Engineering & Environmental Services to inspect 8,952 water service lines throughout the city.
"This initiative not only strengthens our operational capabilities but also underlines our dedication to providing the best quality of services to our residents," stated Eulogio Vera, Public Works Director. He added, "We remain committed to transparency and continuous improvements to our residents' water".
