No lead found in the city of Albion

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Albion city officials say the town’s lead tests came back clean.

Officials say the Lead Service Line Inventory mandated by the EPA has been completed. No lead was detected within the city of Albion. City officials say official results of the inventory are available in the Albion Water Office for public inspection.

According to the state of Illinois, as of January 1, 2022, the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act (LSLRNA) replaced the former lead materials inventory requirements found in the Illinois Environmental Protection Act.

State officials say the first purpose of the LSLRNA is to require owners and operators of community water supplies to develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive water service line material inventory and replacement plan. Officials say a well-developed materials inventory will allow communities to be able to prioritize and strategize the replacement of known lead service lines within their water distribution system.
