Southwest Harbor Water & Sewer District
Due to the large increase in the cleaning of surfaces, with disinfectant wipes and paper products, we would like to remind, our customers, to please not flush these items down the toilet. These items will clog up your sewer lines and our equipment. Even if with the word “flushable” these should be thrown in your trash.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
PUBLIC NOTICE:

Service Line Inventory
We will be conducting a service line inventory - See below for information.
The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) represent the first major update to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) in nearly 30 years. “EPA’s new rule strengthens every aspect of the LCR to better protect children and communities from the risks of lead exposure. The new LCR will better protect children at elementary schools and child care facilities, get the lead out of our nation’s drinking water, and empower communities through information.” – US Environmental Protection Agency
A Service Line Inventory is a critical element in the effort to address sources of lead in drinking water and protecting public health. All Community and Non-transient, Non-community (NTNC) public water systems must develop and submit a comprehensive and accurate inventory of every service line in their distribution system, regardless of whether any lead is present. Each service line, for every address served by the PWS, must be characterized regardless of the ownership of the line or its current use.
