URGENT: All Properties Lead & Copper Plumbing Survey

URGENT: All Properties Lead & Copper Plumbing Survey

     We offer thanks to those who have already responded but we need 100% compliance. The PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is requiring municipal governments and residents to estimate risk of lead exposure through the water service lines. Since the Borough and residents are required to comply, non-compliance could lead to fees and termination of water service. All lines not surveyed will be deemed “lead service lines” by DEP which would be inaccurate.

     To help in the effort, Borough staff mailed out a Lead and Copper Plumbing Survey in March 2023. We had a summer helper in 2023 go door to door to assist residents in completing this 5-minute task. We continue to help in this matter. If your residence has not completed the survey by May 1st (to include the mandatory picture of the meter with the lines in and out), then the Borough may need to discontinue water service and assess the $100.00 disconnection/reconnection fee to get the task completed. If you would like to complete the survey online, please visit the Borough website at https://selinsgrove.org/municipal-services/public-water/ and click the link to the Lead & Copper Water Line Survey 2023. If you want help, please call the Borough Office at 570-374-2311. If you are a tenant and your landlord wishes for you to aid in the completion of this task, please give us a call.
