Case summary

The EPA is issuing Administrative Orders (AO or Order) to public water systems for failure to comply with the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act. EPA Region 5 reviewed violation data provided by the States to issue warning emails to noncompliant systems in June through August of 2025.
