BPU may be contacting you about water samples as part of the EPA Lead & Copper Rule, required by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). This is not related to any boil water advisory—our water is safe.
Why This Sampling Is Important:
The Lead & Copper Rule requires utilities to periodically test water at customer taps to monitor levels of lead and copper in drinking water. These samples are an important part of maintaining high water quality and ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations.
How Sampling Works:
- Collected by homeowners at designated taps
- Quick and simple, usually completed in just a few seconds
- Individual results are provided to participating customers
What to Expect:
BPU may contact you by phone or mail to schedule a sampling time. We understand calls or mail can look like spam. If you ever have any doubts about the legitimacy of a call, notice, or person, please contact us directly. Your participation is crucial to help us comply with the Lead & Copper Rule and ensure all testing requirements are met.
