FYI. If we are to comment, | would expect it to be the LCR experts and plumbing board members
that would have insights into the issues that need further clarification.
Brock, would you please coordinate any comments Michigan may wish to offer. Anyone else that
has a comment should send them to Brock to compile.
| don’t think we have to comment, but if we have something to say or something we wish EPA will
address, we should do so even if others are saying it. EPA is more likely to respond when many
comments are received on an issue.
| know one of the biggest issues concerning the waterworks/plumbing industry is whether meter
maintenance after January 3, 2014 will require that the entire meter be replaced with one that
meets the new definition of lead free or if only those components that are being replaced must
meet the new definition. If this document doesn’t address that issue or doesn’t satisfy us, we may
want to comment.
