Why Ashland

Lead removal for Ashland water.

Primary source
City of Ashland — Reeder Reservoir (with TAP intertie for drought summers)
Key issues we see

Elevated raw TOC from watershed
Aging 1948 treatment plant
TAP intertie taste change in drought summers

Ashland's source water (Reeder Reservoir) is lead-free. The household risk is pre-1986 homes — and Ashland has plenty of historic housing stock — with original lead solder joints and brass fixtures cast before the 2014 federal "lead-free" tightening.

The 2024 EPA Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) lower the action level to 10 ppb and require utilities to replace all known lead service lines within 10 years. At the household level, a first-draw and flushed sample confirms the source — and an NSF/ANSI 53 point-of-use filter or NSF/ANSI 58 RO at the kitchen is the standard residential fix while household plumbing is upgraded.
