Service Line Inventory

While the likelihood of lead service lines in CRW’s system is very slim, we are still required to complete the inventory by October of 2024, this has been completed.   We are able to gather information on CRW service lines between the water main and the meter, but the line between the meter and the home is more difficult for CRW to access and inspect as it is owned by the customer. Fortunately, guidance from the State of Oregon allowed us to use a statistical approach by randomly inspecting a fixed number of services.  We conducted these random inspections Fall 2023-spring 2024.
