§  1114-b.  Service  line inventories and mapping. 1. Definitions. For
the purposes of this section:
(a) "Service line" means any piping  connecting  a  water  main  to  a
building inlet.
(b)  "Gooseneck,  pigtail,  or  connector"  means  a  short section of
piping, typically not exceeding two feet, which can be bent and used for
connections between rigid portions of a service line, as defined  in  40
CFR 141.2.
(c) "Galvanized service line" means iron or steel piping that has been
dipped in zinc to prevent corrosion and rusting.
(d) "Covered public water system" means (i) a public water system that
serves at least fifteen service connections used by year-round residents
or regularly serves at least twenty-five year-round residents; or (ii) a
public  water  system  that regularly serves at least twenty-five of the
same people, four hours or more per day, for four or more days per week,
for twenty-six or more weeks per year.
2. Each covered public  water  system  shall  submit  a  service  line
inventory,  in  a  format  to  be  developed  by  the  department,  that
identifies the location, material composition, and other details of  all
service  lines connected to its distribution system. Each covered public
water system shall also submit an inventory summary form, in a format to
be developed by the department, summarizing the data identified  in  the
service  line  inventory. Notwithstanding subdivisions three and four of
this section, the development of service line inventories and  inventory
summary  forms  shall comply with requirements promulgated by the United
States environmental protection agency.
3. Each service line shall be listed in service line inventories. Each
covered public water system shall include  for  each  service  line  the
information  listed in this subdivision. The covered public water system
may mark "unknown" where documented evidence is not currently available:
(a) street address;
(b) town;
(c) zip code;
(d) if known, whether a gooseneck, pigtail, or connector made of  lead
is present;
(e)  if known, the material composition of both the public portion and
customer portion of the service line;
(f) if known, whether the public portion or customer  portion  of  the
service line was ever made of lead;
(g) the verification method used to determine the material composition
of both the public portion and customer portion of the service line;
(h)  if known, the installation or replacement date of both the public
portion and customer portion of the service line;
(i) if known, the diameter of both the  public  portion  and  customer
portion of the service line;
(j) if known, whether lead solder is present;
(k) if known, the building type; and
(l)  if  known,  whether  a  point  of use or point of entry treatment
system is present.
4. Inventory summary forms shall include, but not be limited  to,  the
following information about each covered water system:
(a) water system name and identification number;
(b)  contact  information for the owner or licensed operator of record
completing the form;
(c) the total number of service lines in the distribution system;
(d) the total number of lead service lines, including the total number
of lead public service line  portions  and  the  total  number  of  lead
customer service line portions;
(e) the total number of galvanized service lines requiring replacement
as  defined  in  40 CFR 141.84, including the total number of galvanized
public service line portions requiring replacement and the total  number
of galvanized customer service line portions requiring replacement;
(f)  the  total  number of non-lead service lines, including the total
number of non-lead public service line portions and the total number  of
non-lead customer service line portions;
(g)  the  total number of service lines of unknown material, including
the total number of unknown public service line portions and  the  total
number of unknown customer service line portions;
(h)  the  total  number  of public service line portions identified by
historical records,  field  inspections,  customer  identification  with
photo   or   other   verification,   excavation,   sequential  sampling,
statistical analysis/predictive modeling, or other method determined  by
the  covered  public  water  system  to accurately identify service line
materials;
(i) the total  number  of  customer  service  portions  identified  by
historical  records,  field  inspections,  customer  identification with
photo  or  other  verification,  excavation,  sequential  sampling,  and
statistical  analysis/predictive modeling, or other method determined by
the covered public water system  to  accurately  identify  service  line
materials;
(j) a description of how the service line inventory will be accessible
to the public; and
(k) a certification verifying the accuracy of the information.
5. Each covered public water system shall electronically submit to the
department  an  initial  service line inventory and an initial inventory
summary form no later than October sixteenth, two thousand  twenty-four.
The  department  may  prescribe  data  management  means and methods for
electronic submissions by covered public water  systems  for  uniformity
purposes.
6.  Covered public water systems whose inventories contain any service
lines classified as lead, galvanized requiring replacement as defined in
40 CFR 141.84, or unknown shall electronically  submit  updated  service
line  inventories and inventory summary forms to the department at least
annually. Updated service line inventories and inventory  summary  forms
shall  reflect information gathered during any service line replacements
or service line material  inspections  that  may  have  been  conducted.
Updated inventory summary forms shall additionally include:
(a)  a  description  detailing  the steps being taken to determine the
material composition of unknown service lines;
(b) the total number of service lines classified as  lead,  galvanized
requiring  replacement, or unknown that were replaced over the course of
the previous year; and
(c) the total number of service lines classified as unknown that  were
determined  to  be  lead,  galvanized  requiring  replacement,  or other
material over the course of the previous year.
7. Each covered public water system which  operates  its  own  website
shall  make its most recent service line inventory and inventory summary
form available to the public on its website.
8. No later than one hundred twenty days after receiving  initial  and
updated  service  line  inventories  and  inventory  summary  forms, the
department shall make  such  inventories  and  inventory  summary  forms
available  to  the  public  through the department's website. Each local
health department shall include a link on its  website  to  the  website
maintained  by  the  department for hosting service line inventories and
inventory summary forms.
9. No later than  October  sixteenth,  two  thousand  twenty-six,  the
department  shall make the information from the service line inventories
of covered public water systems serving more than  ten  thousand  people
and  fewer  than  two  million  people  available  to  the public on the
department's  website  in  the  form of an interactive map or maps. Such
interactive map or maps shall include, for each service line:
(a) material classification, including the material classification  of
both the public and customer portions of a service line;
(b) street address; and
(c) the verification method for the service line classification.
10.  The  department's  interactive map or maps shall be searchable by
address,  and  color-coded  where  applicable  to   designate   material
classification.  The  department's  interactive  map  or  maps  shall be
updated at least annually, in conjunction with the submission of updated
service line inventories by covered public water systems. The department
may choose not to create an interactive map when a covered public  water
system  certifies that it maintains and updates its own interactive map,
and shall include a link to such interactive  map  on  the  department's
website.
11.  The department shall adopt such rules and regulations as it deems
necessary and proper to implement the provisions of this section.
