Water Service Line Inventory-March 29, 2024 through July 2024

As part of a nationwide effort required by the EPA, the City of Edgewater will be conducting a Water Service Line Inventory starting March 29, 2024 and should be completed in July 2024. The focus of this inventory will be to document the types of materials used in water service lines that were installed in 1989 and earlier, which is about half of all water services in the City.

Environmental Services Staff will be conducting an inventory of the pipe material going into and out of our water meters. At this time, we are only looking at water services that were constructed in 1989 and earlier. Department staff will be in the field all day on consecutive Fridays beginning March 29, 2024 thru July, opening water meter boxes and digging holes around them to expose and photograph the pipes. In some cases, all the information will be obtained from within the meter box. In other cases, Staff will need to dig holes in the vicinity of the meter box to expose the pipe material. Environmental Services personnel conducting inspections will attempt to keep the disruption to a minimum and fill the holes back in level by the end of the workday. 

City staff will be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. Please use the "Contact Us" feature on the City's website  www.cityofedgewater.org and choose "Water" from the drop-down menu, email at EnvironmentalServices@CityofEdgewater.org or by phone at 386-424-2400 ext. 4007.
