Lead and Copper Inventory
​
The EPA issued an announcement back in 2022 outlining the requirement for all group A water systems to initiate a Lead and Copper Service Line Inventory, due October 16th, 2024. This inventory is intended to protect the public’s health by understanding what connection materials exist on both the member’s and Association’s service lines. Since that time, Association Staff has been able to verify 100% of the Association’s service line material types and most of the member’s service line connection material types. The list is available on our website as public information, it depicts many details, and we hope that you view it.
We submitted our inventory survey on Oct. 1, 2024, and can report that no lead material types were discovered upstream of the meters during the inventory process. The Association requests that if members with listed unknown material types discover their private service materials, that they report it to the Three Lakes Association office for inclusion with this process. In addition to this new inventory requirement, as part of the regional monitoring plan, the City of Everett requires routine water sampling for Lead and Copper every three years.
​
Please reach out to the office with any questions.
Thank you,

ASSOCIATION NEWS

​
Association Members,
We have initiated Phase 2 of our main replacement project along 171st Ave SE from 48th St SE to Three Lakes Rd. This project is to replace a second segment of AC main as part of our long-range Comprehensive Water System Plan. The existing infrastructure continues to show evidence of its age and wear, nearing its lifespan. This second phase of the project will replace approximately 6,100 linear feet of 6" asbestos cement main with 8" ductile iron main.
Construction will begin the week of July 1st, 2024, and is expected to take a few months to complete. During this time, you will see Association staff in the field supporting this project with our awarded contractor. Please contact the office with any questions or concerns and please be cautious of machinery and site workers as you travel through the area.
