Town of Hempstead
Lead and Copper Compliance Program Management
Hempstead, NY
The Town of Hempstead selected H2M to utilize its GIS capabilities to create a map-based inventory of the Town’s lead service lines to comply with the federally mandated Lead and Copper Revision Rule (LCRR), enforced by the USEPA starting in December 2021.
H2M was chosen by the Town of Hempstead to create a GIS-based digital archive of its lead service lines (LSL) to meet Federal regulations put into effect in December 2021. The USEPA’s LCRR makes it incumbent upon water suppliers to create an inventory of all operational LSL supplying customers, communicate openly with customers about the risks of lead in drinking water, address how the supplier plans to replace these service lines, and meet additional requirements for lines servicing educational and childcare facilities.
In addition to helping the Town work toward the eventual replacement of its active lead service lines, H2M assisted in helping the Town optimize treatment systems and meet the USEPA’s specification for sample collection.
Building the Town LSL map involved the compilation, review, and integration of data of more than 130,000 residents into an interactive database. This involved using manual and programmatic research methods to review 100,000 print tap card records and 150,000 digital records from more than 6,000 residential addresses.
