Wyoming Debuts New WY Risk It? Video On LeadFreeWyoming.com

Statewide, WY – The Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI) and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) announces the addition of a new video on the website offering comprehensive resources for water systems completing the service line inventory process, LeadFreeWyoming.com 

The video, titled “WY Risk It? Test Your Water Line for Lead” helps residents learn more about their water service line and how to help their local water utility complete the statewide survey.  

This initiative is part of a broader nationwide effort requiring drinking water systems to identify and compile an inventory of service line material types to help protect public health from the known negative effects of lead. These initial inventories are mandatory submissions to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due by Oct. 16. 

Water systems interested in participating can contact the project team at wyomingLSL@hdrinc.com with inquiries and to request inclusion in the project email distribution list. For further information and inquiries, water systems can also reach out to the following DEQ staff members: Brad Ellis at 307-473-3469 or bradley.ellis@wyo.gov, or Stan Miller at 307-777-6371 or stanley.miller@wyo.gov.
