Lead Service Line (LSL) Inventory & Replacement Project

Welcome to the Lead Service Line Inventory and Replacement Project site!

This landing page provides an overview of the project's general context, scope, and intent, as well as contact information for project personnel and educational details about the service line identification and replacement process. Select the following link to review the Lead Service Line Inventory Program Fact Sheet prepared by MassDEP.

Overview
As part of the recent Lead and Copper Rule Updates, the EPA has mandated that every public water supplier take an inventory of all the water service lines in their distribution system, primarily to identify and remove lead service lines. The Uxbridge DPW Water Division began conducting this inventory of water service lines in 2023. There is no detectable lead in the DPW Water Division’s supply water. However, older homes may contain plumbing or fixtures that contain lead. Uxbridge’s DPW Water Division treats its water supply to maintain elevated pH levels, thereby minimizing the risk of lead leaching from older plumbing fixtures. Furthermore, the DPW Water Division performs regular water testing for lead throughout the system in compliance with state and federal regulations.

There are over 4,000 metered water service lines in Town. Of these, the material of approximately 1,236 water service lines is unknown. Customers with unknown service lines are receiving notices with information on how to determine and document the material of their water service line. Click here for a copy of the letter notices. The notices include a QR code that directs you to an online form to complete. Thank you to those who have already completed and submitted their service materials.

Our Commitment to You
The Town of Uxbridge continues to make proactive improvements to its water system. The Lead Service Line Inventory & Replacement Plan Project is another example of these ongoing efforts. A grant from the MassDEP and Clean Water Trust is funding Phase 1 of the project. As the project progress, we will continue to pursue alternative sources of funding to offset any future costs for the program.
