system is required to complete an inventory of water customer service line materials.
The service line inventory is related to the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. It requires an
inventory of pipe individual service line materials within the City of Yakima drinking water system. This
inventory was recently completed. Based on information obtained from service line records and visual

October 16th.
