The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions: A Comprehensive Guide
Course Description
The original Lead and Copper rule was first released in 1991 as a corrosion control regulation. The rule has undergone some minor revisions, but in 2021, EPA completely revised the rule, making it more of a public health protection rule. The new Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, also known as LCRR, is the most complex regulation EPA has ever created in the history of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The rule does not go into effect until October 2024, but utilities need to understand the rule today, in order to be fully prepared. This is a one-stop course that focuses on all the major aspects of the rule, along with breaking down and understanding published guidance manuals that have been developed to help utilities maintain compliance. Some key focuses in this stand-alone training course are as follows: how to do a service line inventory, how to conduct a find and fix investigation, how to sample in schools and daycares, and when to provide public education. All you will need to know regarding the LCRR can be found in this course.

2. Determine the correct procedures for achieving compliance with the new Lead and Copper Rule Revisions.
