EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule is in place to protect children and communities from the risks of lead exposure.
EPA’s Revised Lead and Copper Rule
Virginia Beach Public Utilities is committed to protecting public health by providing clean, reliable drinking water to our customers.
In compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) revised Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), every drinking water system in the country is required to publish an inventory of the public and private water service line materials in their service area.
Since publishing our inventory last year, we have significantly reduced the number of unknown service line materials.
Approximately 99% of both the public and private water service lines in our water distribution system have now been identified.
To date, no lead water service lines have been found.
We expect to complete inventorying the remaining water service lines by the end of 2027.

Water Service Line Information
Protecting drinking water from lead sources is the shared responsibility of Virginia Beach Public Utilities and the property owner.
The public side of the service line is from the water main up to and including the water meter and is the responsibility of Virginia Beach Public Utilities. The private side of the service line is from the water meter to the dwelling/building and is the responsibility of the property owner.
