Lead and Copper Rule

Monitoring and Reporting

1 violation, Oct 2020 to Aug 2024
EPA rule code 350 · 1 violation recorded

Monitoring and Reporting: 1 violation, Oct 2020 to Aug 2024. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

What the rule requires: The 1991 LCR uses action levels rather than MCLs: if the 90th percentile of high-risk tap samples exceeds 15 ppb lead or 1.3 mg/L copper, the system must take escalating corrective actions. Violations typically indicate failure to maintain adequate corrosion control — the treatment that keeps lead from leaching out of pipes, solder, and fixtures.

About this rule

Lead and copper at the tap

The 90th percentile of the tap samples the system collected in its latest monitoring period, against EPA's action level. Levels vary between homes.

Lead 0 mg/L

Action level 0.015 mg/L · Jan 2021 to Dec 2023

About this data

Rules violated and the list above come from EPA's SDWIS violation records, one row per violation and contaminant, grouped by the rule each row belongs to. A violation counts when its non-compliance period ended on or after Jul 1, 2023, the start of the thirteen quarters ECHO's three-year figures cover, or is still open; it is unresolved when it was still open at EPA's data refresh on Oct 7, 2026. EPA's rule code 500, "Not Regulated", is left out, as in ECHO's counts. Each rule's violation count is EPA's, and one rule can carry several: a missed monitoring round for a group of contaminants is one violation per contaminant and period. Category names are EPA's violation categories.

ECHO's own summary count of rules violated agrees with this grouping for 98.8% of active systems nationally, and its count of rules being violated for 98.7%; where they differ, the figures here follow the rows listed.

A measured value shown with a rule is the sample result EPA recorded with that violation (SDWIS viol_measure), against the limit EPA recorded on the same row (state_mcl), both in EPA's unit as written; violations without a recorded value, such as missed monitoring, show none. Other measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.

Lead and copper are the newest 90th-percentile results in EPA's SDWA data download (LCR_SAMPLES, codes PB90 and CU90), retrieved on Oct 12, 2026: for each monitoring period a system reports the 90th-percentile value of its tap samples, which EPA compares with its action level of 0.015 mg/L for lead and 1.3 mg/L for copper (40 CFR 141.80). A result is not a measurement of any one tap.

The Minnesota records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
