EPA v. PINEWOOD VILLAGE MHP

Case summary

AUGUST 21, 2026 - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE ORDER The LCRR included a requirement for water systems to complete initial inventories of lead service lines by October 16, 2024. On October 8, 2024, the EPA finalized the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (?LCRI?), which built upon the pre-2021 LCR and 2021 LCRR. Relevant to this Order, the LCRI maintained the LCRR compliance date of October 16, 2024, for initial lead service line inventory, notification of service line material, and associated reporting requirements (discussed in further detail below). Until a State, Tribe, or Territory has primary enforcement authority for a new or revised National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (?NPDWR?), such as the LCRR and LCRI, pursuant to SDWA Section 1413, 42 U.S.C. ? 300g-2, only the EPA can enforce the NPDWR pursuant to SDWA Section 1414(a)(2), 42 U.S.C. ? 300g-3(a)(2). Although the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (?FDEP?) administers the Public Water Supply Supervision Program in Florida pursuant to SDWA Section 1413 of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300g-2, the State of Florida has not been granted primacy by the EPA for implementation and enforcement of the LCRI and/or LCRR as of the date of this Order. Therefore, the EPA currently has primary enforcement responsibility for the SDWA LCRR and LCRI. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. ? 141.84(a) (service line inventory), a water system must develop a service line inventory that identifies the materials of all service lines connected to the public water distribution system. PWSs were required to develop and submit to the State1 an initial service line inventory by October 16, 2024, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. ?? 141.84(a)(1) and 141.90(e)(1) (reporting requirements). The System failed to develop and submit its required initial service line inventory to the State by the October 16, 2024, deadline. Failure to develop an initial inventory by October 16, 2024, requires Tier 2 Public Notification pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Subpart Q of Part 141, Appendix A (public notification of drinking water violations). The System failed to provide Tier 2 Public Notification to the persons it serves, as required by 40 C.F.R. Part 141, Subpart Q.
