Service Line Material Notification Requirements
The lead and copper provisions of the administrative rules promulgated under the Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act, 1976 PA 399, as amended, were revised in June 2018. These revisions include requirements for community water supplies to notify the owner(s) and occupants of premises served by a service line made of lead or galvanized previously connected to lead (GPCL). Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions expanded these requirements to include notification to premises served by a service line where the lead status is unknown and to require annual notification until the service line is known to no longer contain lead or GPCL. Note: A lead service line (LSL) is a service line in which any portion contains lead. This includes any portion of the service line that is customer owned, or water supply owned, including lead goosenecks or pigtails.
In compliance with these requirements, the City of Morenci will be mailing out the Annual Notifications to the addresses identified as GPCL, LSL & Unknown Service Line premises on November 13, 2025. Those premises that have been identified as non-lead will not be receiving a letter.
The City of Morenci has been using a method of “Pot Holing” whereas a small hole is bored into the ground to physically verify the Service Line Material during 2025. This method will continue to be used until all Service Line materials have been identified.
