To learn more about Girard’s efforts to maintain safe and lead-free water infrastructure, visit our Drinking Water Service Line Inventory page. This page provides detailed information about service line materials, lead identification efforts, and how residents can assist in keeping our water system safe.
The City of Girard is committed to protecting your water source and maintaining our transparency with the public concerning any notices of violation and what we are doing to ensure these are corrected in a safe and sufficient manner. As a part of the new Lead Service Line Inventory ruling from the US EPA, we are required to send out a notice every year to the citizens to help us locate and eliminate all Lead service lines within the Girard water service area. We missed the mailing for 2025 according to the US EPA and we have sent out this notice in the September billing. If you have not identified what your service line is through our survey, please do so at this time. If you need assistance with identifying the service line, please reach out to me, Michael Scoville at 234-600-0672, I would be happy to assist you with this. We will be required to continue to send out these notices until all our lines have been properly identified, and we have no more unknown status to submit to the US EPA. Thank you for your time.
