Per the federal drinking water regulations under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions,

administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the City of Blue Springs is

associated with lead exposure in drinking water and require water systems to develop a

comprehensive inventory of service line materials, notify customers of potential lead

presence, and implement long-term replacement programs. To support compliance,

federal funding opportunities, including the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act programs, have been made available to assist

communities in proactively improving infrastructure and protecting public health
