Lead Service Line (LSL) Inventory
As required by EPA, the Village of Merrimac has conducted a thorough inventory of all water service lines in the Village, both upstream and downstream of the curb boxes. This inventory included:
- The review of:
- Planning documents, drawings, specifications, and bookkeeping records for all Village water projects.
- Meter installation and replacement records in our accounting software.
- Cross connection surveys documentation.
- Tax records & historical aerial imagery.
- Discussions & windshield survey with current and retired public works personnel. Personnel report that during their combined years of service (1984-2024), they have never encountered any lead service lines in the Village.
- During 2023-2024, owner interviews and in-basement inspections of over 120 service lines installed before 1986 (when lead service lines were banned)
Based on this review, we have determined that there are no lead service lines in the Village.
