Customer Plumbing Survey

In effort to combat potential lead exposure in public drinking water systems, the EPA has requested that all water systems across the US document the materials that each one of our service lines are made of. We here at BBWC are fortunate that all our service lines (from the main line to your meter) are plastic polyethylene tubing. While this is great news all around for the residents of Emerald Isle, Indian Beach & Salter Patch, we are still required to document the customer owned portion of the sercice lines and their material makeup. This is the line that runs from your customer valve at the street into your home. The most common material is PVC, but some older homes may have galvanized pipe or another type of metal piping. Please help us by completing the short survey linked HERE with as much information as you can. If you are unsure, that's okay, let us know that too! Any customer lines we are unable to identify the material of will have to be categorized as "unknown-likely lead" based on the age of the home. We have until October 2024 to compile the information, but we are starting early to get ahead as there are almost 6,600 connections in our system.

Thank you for your support!
