EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey
and Assessment (DWINSA) is used to determine the financial needs of the nation's drinking water
infrastructure over the next twenty years. It also guides EPA's distribution of annual funding to states
through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), including the unprecedented funding
provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58), also known as the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law.

The 7th DWINSA includes a State survey and a Tribal survey. The State survey includes the U.S.
territories, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico and shows a twenty-year capital improvement need
of $625 billion. Of that $625 billion, $620.4 billion is for states and Puerto Rico, $1.2 billion is for U.S.
territories, and $3.4 billion is for the District of Columbia. The Tribal survey shows a need of $4.1 billion,
of which $3.2 billion is for American Indian systems and $0.9 billion is for Alaska Native Villages. This
$629.1 billion total estimate represents DWSRF-eligible infrastructure projects necessary, from January
1, 2021, through December 31, 2040, for water systems to continue to provide safe drinking water to
the public. The findings are based on data collected in calendar year 2021.

The seventh survey and assessment relied primarily on a statistical survey of 3,629 public water systems
in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories as well as 198 American Indian
water systems and 97 Alaska Native Village water systems for 3,924 systems total. These public water
systems consisted of small community water systems (CWS), medium CWS, large CWS, and not-for-
profit non-community water systems (NPNCWS). Out of the 3,924 public water systems surveyed, 3,820
responded, which is a 97% response rate. This response rate provides a high degree of confidence in the
statistical precision of the assessment's findings. The 7th DWINSA is the largest and broadest scope effort
since its inception in 1995, including new data on lead service lines (LSLs), operator workforce concerns,
and pipe and storage tank construction materials related to the Safe Drinking Water Act's (SDWA)
American Iron and Steel (AIS) provisions.

7th Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment

-------
Section 1 Traditional State Infrastructure Needs

Section 1.1 Background

The SDWA requires that EPA examine the needs for infrastructure improvements and maintenance at
public water systems in the United States. To accomplish this, EPA is required to conduct a survey and
assessment every four years. Results from previous surveys can be found here:
https://www.epa.gov/dwsrf. The 7th DWINSA includes a State survey and a Tribal survey. The State
survey includes the U.S. territories, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Tribal survey includes
American Indian systems and Alaska Native Villages.

EPA, states, and water systems collected data for the 7th DWINSA in calendar year 2021. This data
represents the DWSRF-eligible infrastructure projects that are necessary over the 20-year period of
January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2040, for water systems to continue to provide safe drinking
water to the public. These projects include infrastructure needs that are eligible for, but not necessarily
financed by, the DWSRF, including the installation of new drinking water infrastructure and the
rehabilitation, expansion, or replacement of existing infrastructure. The findings of the State survey of
traditional 20-year infrastructure needs are reported in this section; the findings of the Tribal survey are
reported in Section 5.

The SDWA mandates that EPA use the DWINSA to develop a formula to distribute DWSRF capitalization
grants to states. By law, each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are guaranteed a minimum
allotment of 1% of the total amount available to states and the U.S. territories share 1.5% of the total
amount available to states. For each DWINSA, EPA uses a standardized methodology to develop a new
allocation formula based on each state's 20-year infrastructure need compared to the national need and
accounting for the required 1% minimum allocation for each state. There are minor changes in the
allotment percentages in the allocation formula developed from the 7th DWINSA compared to the
previous. Starting in FY23, this allotment formula will be used to distribute the DWSRF Base
Appropriations, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law General Supplemental, and the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law Emerging Contaminants funds. As described further below, EPA used information
collected in the 7th DWINSA on service line materials to develop a separate allocation formula to
distribute the DWSRF Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) fund for FY23.

The Assessment was developed in consultation with a workgroup consisting of state and EPA regional
coordinators. The workgroup met several times by conference call and in person to discuss and to
receive feedback on the Assessment's policies and processes. In addition, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. §3501 et seq.), the survey design and instrument were reviewed
and approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Information Collection Request for
the survey can be accessed in the Federal Register (86 FR 6542; February 5, 2020).

Section 1.2 Methodology

The 7th DWINSA conducted a statistical survey of 3,629 public water systems in all 50 states, Puerto Rico,
the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. Exhibit 1.1 shows the total number of DWSRF-eligible
systems and the number of systems surveyed. These public water systems included large community

water systems (CWS), medium CWS, small CWS, and not-for-profit non-community water systems
(NPNCWS). Due to the burden of participating, small CWS are not included in every survey. Small CWS
were last surveyed in the 4th DWINSA. The 7thDWINSA is the largest and broadest scope effort since its
inception in 1995 and includes data related to lead service lines (LSLs), operator workforce concerns,
and pipe and storage tank construction materials related to SDWA's American Iron and Steel (AIS)
provisions.

Out of the 3,629 state public water systems surveyed, 3,526 responded, which is a 97% response rate,
well above the 90% goal. This response rate goal was established to provide a high degree of confidence
in the statistical precision of the assessment's findings. For the State survey, EPA surveyed all large CWS,
a random sample of medium CWS in each state, a national random sample of small CWS and a national
sample of NPNCWS. Large and medium CWS either filled out the survey themselves or with state
assistance. EPA's contractor assisted small CWS and NPNCWS. States which are likely to only receive the
1% minimum DWSRF allotment may choose to not conduct the survey for medium CWS, and if so, are
known as partial participating states. Large and small CWS are still surveyed in partial participating
states. Exhibit 1.1 shows the achieved number of responses by water system size for the State survey.

Basic statistical and survey methodologies used for this assessment are the same as those used in
previous assessments. Water systems surveyed by the DWINSA submit cost estimates for capital
improvement projects that the water system plans to complete over the next 20 years (for this survey,
January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2040). For a project to be included, the water system must

-------
document that they are committed to completing the project, and that it is feasible and necessary. One
way to show commitment is for the project to be listed in a water system's capital improvement plan. To
show the project is necessary and feasible a water system might submit a preliminary engineering
report. Cost estimates reflect comprehensive infrastructure costs like engineering and design, purchase
of raw materials and equipment, and construction labor. Project costs, which can either be actual
submitted costs or modeled based on project category, are totaled for each water system and then used
to extrapolate the total need for the state.

The 20-year national infrastructure need for the State survey is calculated for each individual state and
territory using the reported needs of large CWS, the weighted needs of medium CWS and by applying the
small CWS national need to each state's small CWS inventory. The medium CWS need for partial participating
states was estimated using data from full participating states and the inventory of medium CWS in the partial
participating states. Use of this method allowed EPA to meet its precision target for each full participating
state as well as at the national level.

State extrapolated needs are then totaled with the results of the American Indian and Alaska Native
Village surveys to get the national need. Additional information on methodology can be found in the 6th
DWINSA Report to Congress.

Section 1.3 Survey Credibility

EPA has been working closely with water systems and states for over 25 years to conduct the DWINSA.
The survey and its methodology are widely accepted and often cited in various literature and studies.
The DWINSA collects actual project and asset data from a stratified random statistical sample of water
systems, which minimizes bias and uncertainty in the survey and results. Rigorous water system project
documentation is required based on a weight of evidence approach to demonstrate that a project is
necessary, feasible, and has commitment. Consequently, the survey is credible, defensible, and
statistically significant.

Section 1.4 State Survey Results

The 20-year national infrastructure need for states (including territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of
Columbia) estimated by the 7th DWINSA is $625 billion. This is a 32% increase over the 6th DWINSA
($472.6 billion, in January 2015 dollars). Accounting for inflation, this is a 14% increase in need over the
adjusted 6th DWINSA ($546.6 billion, in January 2021 dollars). The breakout of the need by project
category is presented in Exhibit 1.2. The distribution across categories is similar to the 6th DWINSA,
although the quantity of need has increased. Exhibit 1.3 shows the breakout of the need based on water
system size and type. The U.S. territory needs, reported as part of the total 20-year state need, total
approximately $1.15 billion, of which $519.3 million is needed for distribution and transmission, $232.3
million for treatment, $266.7 million for storage, $70.6 million for source, and $62.7 for other needs.
Additional information on U.S. state and U.S. territory needs, including a breakout by territory, can be
found in Exhibit 1.4, Exhibit 1.5 and Appendix B.

* Partial participating states are those states which are likely to only receive the 1% minimum DWSRF allotment
and therefore, by choice, do not conduct the survey for medium water systems. Large and small water systems are
surveyed in these states. Medium system needs in these states are estimated based on average medium system
needs nationally, by stratum, derived from data from full participating states. The medium system and total needs
of partial participating states is estimated but do not meet the data quality objectives for the survey.

Exhibits 1.6 through 1.8 present the 7th DWINSA results for states compared to previous assessments.
Note that the assessments differed in scope (small CWS, American Indian and Alaskan Native Village
systems and NPNCWs were not included in data collection every survey cycle, but where data was not
collected the total need for the state was calculated using previously collected data for those categories,
converted that Assessment's year). Exhibit 1.6 shows each DWINSA total state and U.S. territory need in
"current year" dollars (in other words, dollars from the year of the specific Assessment) and expressed
in January 2021 dollars. It shows the percentage change in the inflation-adjusted need from the previous
assessment's total need. This means the percentage change shown accounts for inflation and reflects
the real change in need.

Section 2 State and U.S. Territory Lead Service Line Counts

Section 2.1 Service Line Questionnaire

America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 amended Section 1452(h) of SDWA to mandate that
EPA evaluate and include the cost to replace lead service lines (LSLs) in future drinking water
infrastructure needs surveys. EPA collected service line material information to support this evaluation
for the first time in 2021, as a part of the 7th DWINSA.

In accordance with Section 1452(h)(2) of SDWA, all public water systems participating in the 7th DWINSA
were asked to provide information on the number of service lines in their system (whether owned by
the system, the customer, or jointly owned by both the system and the customer) and their knowledge
of the construction materials of the service lines and service line connectors (see Exhibit 2.1). This
includes medium CWS in partial participating states which were not surveyed for 20-year infrastructure
needs. These systems were sent an abbreviated version of the DWINSA questionnaire which contained
only the operator workforce and service line questions. Exhibit 2.1 also shows how the responses for
each row were categorized by service line material. If a system reported any LSLs or connectors, EPA
included those service lines in the lead content category. EPA included service lines that systems
reported as galvanized pipe previously downstream of lead source (including lead pipes, lead connectors
and/or any unknown source of lead) in the lead category as well. Galvanized service lines that have
never been downstream of a source of lead are reported as standalone galvanized. Service lines known
to not be lead are categorized as no lead. Service lines for which the system did not know the material
or did not report a material are included in the undiscovered (including unknown and nonreported)
category.

Exhibit 2.2 shows an example completed questionnaire. Like participation in the full needs survey, the
service line questionnaire was optional; however, 75% of water systems in the State survey provided
responses.

EPA recognizes that states and communities continue to make progress on identifying LSLs. To account
for this rapidly developing data, states will be provided a one-time opportunity to adjust their reported
service line data in Fall 2023. The updated service line information will be first used in distribution of
DWSRF BIL LSLR funding to states in 2024.

Exhibit 2.3 shows the number of surveyed systems that responded for each category of service line
material. A system may have responded with information on more than one type of service line. Some
or all of the 725 systems that reported one or more services lines with lead content may also have
reported some lines were known to not have lead content and some were of unknown material.
Category 5 in Exhibit 2.3 captures the systems that did not respond to the questions on service line
inventory. To date, this is the best available data collected and assessed on service line materials in the
U.S.

Section 2.2 Lead Service Line Estimate Methodology

The same 3,629 water systems participating in the primary state DWINSA were surveyed using the 7th
DWINSA service line questionnaire, which collected information on the number of service lines by
material type. Medium CWS selected for the survey in partial participating states were asked to respond
to the service line questionnaire even though they did not report 20-year infrastructure needs. To
develop estimated counts of service lines, system level data is extrapolated at the state and national
level using similar methodology as for the primary DWINSA. A description of this approach is included in
Appendix A. Responses from the DWINSA service line questionnaire were used to estimate the number
of service lines of each material type. As shown in Exhibit 2.3, EPA categorized these material types as
known lead, standalone galvanized, no lead, and undiscovered (including unknown and nonreported).

The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) require water systems to identify and make public an initial
inventory of the locations of LSLs by October 16, 2024. In 2022, EPA issued the document Guidance for
Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory (found here: https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-
and-drinking-water/revised-lead-and-copper-rule) to support this effort. Until water systems have
complete inventories, the number of reported undiscovered (including unknown and nonreported)
service lines that are actually lead is unknown. Therefore, for each state, EPA applied the ratio of the
number of known LSLs to the total service lines of all known material types to project how many
undiscovered (including unknown and nonreported) service lines might be lead. This same projection
was done for the standalone galvanized service lines. The DWINSA estimated service line material based
on survey response is shown in Exhibit 2.4 for each state and U.S. territory. Appendix B includes

7th Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment

20


-------
information for each state on the number of service lines by category estimated from survey responses
and the number projected for the state using the state ratios.

Examples of this methodology for two states are shown in Exhibit 2.5. A state-specific ratio was
developed to derive the total projected count of LSLs in each state. These state numbers were then
totaled to calculate the total national LSL number. This is illustrated in Exhibit 2.5, where Michigan's
871,566 service lines of undiscovered (including unknown and nonreported) material are projected to
be either lead, standalone galvanized, or not lead pipe based on state-specific ratios and are added to
the totals for those materials from the survey's estimates. If a state reported all unknown materials or
did not respond to the survey, for medium CWS, EPA applied a national ratio derived from the states
with reported data. For small CWS, a national ratio was applied to the number of connections reported
in small CWS in each state. Appendix A provides a more detailed step-by-step description of the
methodology used to develop service line estimates.

Section 2.3 Lead Service Line Replacement Allotment Formula

In 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law included a specific DWSRF appropriation of $15 billion for
Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) and associated activities. In addition to replacement projects, this
funding can and should be used for LSL identification, including development of LSL inventories as
required by the LCRR. EPA allocated the first year of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law LSLR funding using
a formula based on all categories of infrastructure need.

EPA is using the new results from LSL information collected under the 7th DWINSA to allocate the
remaining years of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law LSLR funding. EPA developed a LSL percentage for each
state by dividing the states' projected LSLs (as derived using the methodology described in Appendix A)
by the total national number of projected LSLs. EPA used the state percentages to develop the LSL-
specific allocation formula for distributing the DWSRF Bipartisan Infrastructure Law LSLR funding. As
required under Section 1452(a)(1)(D) of SDWA, each state is provided a minimum allotment of 1% of the

7th Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment

23


-------
total amount available to states and the U.S. territories share 1.5% of the national total based on each
territory's share of the territories total.

The new LSL formula will allow states to receive financial assistance commensurate with their need as
soon as possible, furthering public health protection nationwide. Any remaining imbalance in allotments
is expected to be addressed through the normal DWSRF reallotment process established under SDWA.
Funds not distributed to eligible LSLR DWSRF projects by the end of the second fiscal year after
apportionment are reallotted; this process is outlined in Section 1452(a)(1)(E) of SDWA and the deadline
cannot be shortened or extended by EPA. The new LSL formula will reduce the need for reallotments as
well as the administrative burden on states and EPA that is created when allocated funding outweighs
the need of water systems in that state or vice versa.

EPA recognizes that states and communities continue to make progress on identifying LSLs. To account
for this rapidly developing data, states will be provided a one-time opportunity to adjust their reported
service line data in fall 2023. The anticipated updated information would be first used in distribution of
DWSRF BIL LSLR funding to states in 2024.

Section 2.4 Lead Service Line Results

Based on the findings from the 7th DWINSA, the total projected number of LSLs in the United States is
9.2 million for the states, U.S. territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia (see Exhibit 2.6). The
estimated cost to replace these LSLs ranges from approximately $50 billion to $80 billion (2021 dollars).
This is derived from service line replacement cost information collected as part of the 7th DWINSA for
both full and partial lead service line replacement. The low estimate (25th percentile or 25% of LSLR cost
data is below this value) is $5,328/LSL and the high estimate (75th percentile or 25% of LSLR cost data is
above this value) is $9,015/LSL. There are also an estimated 2.8 million standalone galvanized service
lines that have never been downstream of lead. Currently, some states require that galvanized pipe be
identified, and some states require that it be removed.

Section 3 Workforce Survey Response

Section 3.1 Background

As in many technical sectors, the drinking water industry is predicting large-scale retirements and
consequently a potential workforce shortage. EPA, states, and drinking water industry associations and
organizations are working to promote the water sector as a good source of employment and career
opportunities. These efforts are intended to help ensure that there are enough trained and qualified
water professionals to meet current and future needs.

For the first time, the 7th DWINSA collected responses to operator workforce questions, which provides
a unique opportunity to estimate projected water sector workforce shortfalls over the next five to ten
years and quantify the reasons for anticipated shortfalls. This data includes responses from all surveyed
systems in the states, U.S. territories, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and American Indian and
Alaska Native Village water systems. Of the 3,924 systems surveyed, 3,818 responded to the operator
workforce questions, for an overall response rate of 97.3%. Of the systems that received the state
survey, 97.16% responded, and 98.98% of American Indian and Alaskan Native Village systems
responded to the operator workforce questions.

Section 3.2 Operator Workforce Responses

The following exhibits show the results of the responses to the operator workforce questions. These
graphics show that workforce issues are universal across water systems of all sizes. A significant
percentage of responding systems of each size reported that hiring difficulties will increase over the next
five to ten years and identified lack of interest and lack of candidates as the top reasons. Small water
systems cited the inability to hire full-time employees and offer benefits as more significant reasons
than larger water systems.

Section 4 Iron and Steel Construction Materials

Section 4.1 Background

Questions on pipe and storage tank construction materials were included in the 7th DWINSA to provide
information on materials used for specific types of infrastructure that are often, but not always,
comprised of primarily iron or steel and thus subject to the American Iron and Steel (AIS) requirements
under SDWA section 1452(a)(4). The responses to these questions and the data from the 7th DWINSA
will aid EPA in management and oversight of the AIS requirements. The questions were provided to all
small CWS, medium CWS in full participating states and large CWS in states and the U.S. territories.
American Indian and Alaska Native Village were not asked about the material of their pipes and tanks as
they are not subject to AIS requirements. Medium CWS in partial participating states were not asked
these pipe and tank materials questions because they were not asked to report their 20-year
infrastructure needs.

The types of infrastructure for which materials information was requested include raw water
transmission, finished water transmission, distribution mains, elevated finished water storage, and
ground-level finished water storage. The construction materials questions were formatted as inventory
tables and focused on identifying the material used for the following project types:

Transmission and Distribution Mains

Existing material (cast iron, ductile iron, plastic, unknown, etc.)

Materials of pipe typically used for replacement

Materials typically used for new pipe installation and existing policies for the type of pipe to be
installed (e.g., mains <6" are HDPE and >6" are ductile iron)

Elevated and Ground Storage Tanks

Existing material (bolted or welded steel, glass fused to steel, fiberglass, concrete, composite)

Materials typically used for tank replacement

Materials typically used for new storage tanks

The exhibits in this section show the information provided by survey respondents for the iron and steel
construction materials questions. For replacement of existing materials, the exhibits are based on the
reported number of existing tanks or the reported pipe length of the surveyed systems. For new
materials (tank or pipe), the figures are based on the number of systems offering each response. Overall,
72% of systems responded to pipe material questions and 87% of systems responded to tank material
questions. These results have not been adjusted for the statistical weights of each system in the survey.

Section 4.2 Storage Tank Materials Responses

These exhibits show that storage tank material for future tank construction is generally the same
composition as the existing tank materials. Understandably, there are significant differences between
the types of materials for elevated tanks versus ground level tanks. While the most common material for
both elevated tanks and ground level tanks in responding systems is steel, ground level tanks are

concrete one-third of the time. In addition, the material is consistent whether for replacement of a tank
or construction of a new tank.

Note that the "other" category includes responses such as but not limited to, "no future elevated
storage tanks planned, elevated storage tank not used, unlikely to construct elevated storage tank," etc.

Section 4.3 Pipe Materials Responses

The following exhibits show that cast iron and asbestos cement pipe materials are reported as relatively
infrequently used for pipe replacement or new construction. Asbestos cement is reported as replaced
primarily with plastic pipe, while cast iron pipe is reported as replaced with ductile iron or plastic pipe.
Based on the reported material of existing pipe, approximately one-third of existing pipe is plastic in the
surveyed systems. Additionally, based on reported material for replacement of existing pipe, systems in
the survey will replace 54% of existing pipe length with plastic pipe and replace 34% of existing pipe with
ductile iron pipe. Similarly, 47% of systems stated that plastic is the most likely material for new pipe
projects, while 34% stated that ductile iron is the most likely material for new pipe projects. These data
report surveyed-system responses and have not been extrapolated to represent national data.
Respondents did not indicate the pipe length of new pipe projects (as that length is presently unknown);
data for new project questions is shown by percentage of respondents.

Note that the "other" category includes, but is not limited to, cement mortar lined pipe, reinforced
concrete cylinder pipe (RCCP), and a combination of material types such as HDPE and cement mortar
lined pipe.

Section 5 Tribal Water System Traditional Infrastructure Needs

Section 5.1 Background

The 7th Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey
and Assessment estimates that the capital
investment needs of water systems serving
American Indian and Alaska Native Village water
systems totals $4.1 billion over the next 20 years.

This is the first time Tribal water systems have
been surveyed since the 5th DWINSA in 2011.

The Tribal need is compounded by high average
per-household costs compared to most non-Native
water systems due to unique circumstances that
many of these water systems face. Tribal public
water systems are almost all small - serving 3,300
or fewer people. They are often located in remote
rural areas, some in areas with permafrost, and
the communities served may have households that
lack piped access to the public water supply. These
conditions present special challenges for providing
safe drinking water.

Section 5.2 Assessment Results

The 7th DWINSA Tribal survey is based on distinct
and statistically designed surveys of American
Indian water systems and Alaska Native Village
water systems. These surveys were designed and
implemented as distinct efforts due to differences
associated with their water systems' geographic
locations and infrastructure. Of the 925 American Indian water systems, 198 were included in the survey
and all 198 responded; of the 154 Alaska Native Village water systems, 97 were included in the survey
and 96 responded. These combine to over 99% response rate for the Tribal survey.

Data was submitted for the surveys by Tribal water systems in coordination with the Navajo Nation, EPA
Regions, Village Safe Water, and Indian Health Service (IHS) Areas. Exhibit 5.1 presents the American
Indian and Alaska Native Village water system need by EPA Region and by type of need. American Indian
System needs are presented by the EPA Region in which they are located and for the Navajo Nation.
Alaska Native Village water system needs are presented separately and are not included in EPA Region
10, although they are located in that region. Exhibit 5.2 presents the need estimated by the four
DWINSAs completed to date in which data were collected for American Indian and Alaska Native Village
water systems.

Bureau of Reclamation Projects for American Indian
Water Systems

The Bureau of Reclamation is responsible for several large
projects that impact water systems serving American Indian and
other communities. These include the Navajo Gallup Water
Supply Project, Rocky Boy's/North Central Montana Rural Water
System, and the Mni Wiconi Project (Oglala Sioux Rural Water
Supply System Project), among others. These are costly projects
that are usually completed in phases over many years. The
water they provide may have several uses, including community
water supplies, irrigation, and power. Under acts of the U.S.
Congress, various public laws specify federal funding obligations
including water rights settlements; annual funding is specified in
the Bureau's budget requests.

The American Indian need documented in this DWINSA does not
include the costs of the Bureau of Reclamation water projects
that are underway or planned for the next 20 years. However,
these projects and their costs are noteworthy because they
address significant drinking water infrastructure needs. Water
supplied by Bureau of Reclamation projects compensates for
reduced ground water availability, replaces poor quality sources,
and brings piped water to regions where it was not previously
available. If operations and maintenance responsibilities are
transferred to tribes, considerable infrastructure needs would
have to be included in future DWINSA efforts. As these projects
are completed, responsibility for future repair and replacement
of the infrastructure may shift to American Indian utilities; if and
when that should occur, future DWINSA efforts will capture
these needs.

1.	There were no American Indian water systems in EPA Region 3 for the 1995,1999 and 2011 surveys.

2.	Needs for Alaska Native Village water systems are not included in the EPA Region 10 total.

3.	Navajo water systems are in EPA Regions 6, 8, and 9, but for purposes of this report all Navajo water system
needs are reported in Navajo Nation. Navajo Nation water system needs were included in EPA Region 9 for the
1995 and 1999 Assessments.

The decrease in the Alaska Native Village Need from the 2nd DWINSAto 5th DWINSA is due to a change in
criteria for increased project-specific documentation of project feasibility. The decreased American
Indian water system need from the 5th DWINSA to the 7th DWINSA is primarily attributable to exclusion
of projects funded by the Bureau of Reclamation that were included in the 5th Assessment, and
significant completion of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project between the 5th and 7th Assessments.

American Indian Water System Needs

The total 20-year need for American Indian water systems is estimated to be $3.2 billion, a decrease of
$301 million from the 5th DWINSA estimate of $3.5 billion.

Exhibit 5.3 shows the total American Indian water system need by project type. As would be expected
for these systems, transmission and distribution is the largest category of need, representing 56 percent
of the total need. This high percentage reflects the significant infrastructure and logistical challenges
associated with American Indian water systems that must serve widely dispersed populations in remote
locations or transmit piped water long distances from their source to the consumers.

Alaska Native Village Water System Needs

The total 20-year need for Alaska Native Village water systems is estimated to be $868 million, a $95.6
million increase from the 5th DWINSA estimate of $772 million. This difference is attributable in part to
investments needed to improve access to safe drinking water in Villages where piped water is not
provided to homes.

Exhibit 5.4 shows the total Alaska Native Village water system need by project type. The need for Alaska
Native Village water systems differs from more typical community water systems and American Indian
water systems in that costs for piping in Alaska Native Village water systems make up less than half the
need, with storage and treatment comprising a greater percentage of the total. These smaller
communities with homes in close proximity typically have lower relative need for piping. However, the
cost per foot of pipe is high due to shipping costs to these remote locations and the specialized piping
necessary to prevent water from freezing under arctic conditions. Alaska Native Villages face higher
treatment and storage costs than American Indian systems and typical systems in the lower 48-states
because of their remote or arctic conditions that require they obtain and treat water sufficient for
several months of use during a short period of time when warmer conditions enable those water system
operations.

Appendix A Process for Developing Service Line Count Estimates

The 7th Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment (DWINSA) collected information
about the investment needs of public water systems. The 7th DWINSA also collected supplemental
information from systems about the number of service lines by
material composition. A sample of drinking water systems were
selected to participate in the 7th DWINSA that included all large
systems (those serving more than 100,000 people), a random
sample of medium systems (those serving 3,301 to 100,000
people) for each state, and a national random sample of small
systems (those serving 3,300 or fewer people). EPA used the
information provided by the responding systems to project the
number of lead service lines in each state and territory.

Step 1. Categorize the service lines reported by surveyed
systems by material composition.

EPA used the supplemental data about service lines to categorize
the service lines by material. Systems provided the following
information:

1.	The number of service lines that contain any lead pipe.

2.	The number of service lines that do not contain any lead
pipe but contain lead connectors.

3.	The number of service lines that contain galvanized pipe
and were previously downstream of a lead pipe that was
removed from the service line.

4.	The number of service lines that contain galvanized pipe
and were previously downstream of a lead connector that
was removed from the service line.

5.	The number of service lines that contain galvanized pipe
and were previously downstream of an unknown source
of lead that was removed from the service line.

6.	The number of service lines that contain galvanized pipe
and were never downstream of a lead pipe or lead
connector in the service line.

7.	The number of service lines that do not contain any lead
pipe or galvanized pipe and that do not have lead
connectors.

8.	The number of service lines for which the material makeup of the service line and the connector
are not known.

For purposes of the allotment of the BIL LSLR SRF fund, EPA considers service lines to be eligible if they
contain any lead pipe or connectors or are galvanized pipe previously downstream of any lead sources.
Therefore, service lines reported under items 1 through 5 above were categorized as lead service lines.

The DWINSA Sample Weights

The 7th DWINSA relies on a random
sample of water systems to
estimate the number of LSLs in
each state and in the nation.

Within each state, medium and
large water systems are divided
into several categories based on
each system's water source and the
size of the population served. The
DWINSA includes all large systems
and a sample of medium systems.
A random sample of medium
systems is selected from each
category of systems in each state.
In addition, a random sample of
small systems is selected from each
category of systems nationally. To
estimate state totals for medium
and large systems using the
sample, each system is assigned a
weight that is equal to the number
of systems in the category divided
by the number of systems sampled
from that category. For example, if
the survey included a sample of
three systems from a category that
consists of 12 systems, each of the
three systems from that category
would receive a weight of 4 (12 -f 3
= 4).

-------
Some surveyed systems did not respond to the supplemental service line questions. For those systems,
EPA used their reported number of connections as an estimate of their number of service lines. EPA
categorized those service lines as "unreported." EPA used the following five material type categories:

1.	Lead service lines

2.	Standalone galvanized service lines

3.	Lead-free and galvanized-free service lines

4.	Unknown service lines

5.	Unreported service lines

Step 2. Estimate the proportion of service lines in medium and large systems by material type in each
state.

EPA used the sample data developed in Step 1 to estimate the proportion of service lines in medium and
large systems in each state that are in each of the five material type categories. EPA weighted the
sample data by each responding system's sampling weight, including the systems that did not respond
to the supplemental service line questions. EPA weights the estimates to ensure the proportions are
representative of all the medium and large systems in each state. (See the text box for an explanation of
how EPA determines each system's sampling weight.) Table 1 shows the estimated proportions for a
sample state. A similar set of proportions was estimated for each state.

Step 3. Estimate the proportion of service lines in small systems by material type in the nation.

EPA used data from the national sample of small systems in Step 1 to estimate the proportion of service
lines in those systems that are in each of the five material type categories. EPA contractors visited the
small systems in person to help them respond to the survey. All the small systems responded to the
supplemental questions, although many responded as "unknown." Table 2 shows the proportion of
service lines in each material category for small systems nationally.

Step 4. Use the proportions estimated in Steps 2 and 3 and data on the number of connections per
state to estimate the number of service lines in each state by type of material.

To estimate the total number of service lines of each material type in each state, EPA multiplied the
proportions estimated in Steps 2 and 3 by the total number of connections in each state. EPA took the
number of connections from the federal version of the 2019 Safe Drinking Water Information System
(SDWIS Fed), which provides estimates of the number of connections for every system in the country.
For medium and large systems, EPA multiplies the proportions estimated in Step 2 by the number of
connections in medium and large systems in each state. For small systems, EPA multiplies the
proportions estimated in Step 3 by the number of connections among small systems in the state. For
example, if a state has 186,000 service lines among medium and large systems and using the example
state proportion of lead service lines from Table 1, the total number of lead service lines among medium
and large systems would be 4,650:

186,000X0.025 = 4,650

If the same state has 85,000 service lines among small systems and using the national proportion of lead
service lines from Table 2, the total number of lead service lines among small systems would be 765:

85,000X0.009 = 765

The total number of lead service lines in the state in small, medium, and large systems would be:

4,650 + 765 = 5,415

This calculation is repeated for each material type category. Table 3 shows the result for the example
state.

4. Unknown Service Lines

5. Unreported Service Lines

34,224

Total

271,000

Step 5. Estimate the number of service lines in each state whose material type is unknown that are
projected to be lead, standalone galvanized, or lead-free and galvanized-free.

The unreported lines and the lines for which the material makeup is unknown likely include some
number of lead service lines. To project the total number of lead service lines in each state, including
unknown and unreported service lines that might be lead, EPA assumed that the proportion of unknown
and unreported service lines that are lead is the same as the proportion of known service lines that are
lead. For the example state the proportion of known service lines that are lead is 0.053:

5,415 -r (5,415 + 9,057 + 86,329) = 0.053

The estimated number of unknown and unreported service lines that are projected to be lead is 9,078:

0.053 X (135,525 + 34,224) = 9,078

(Due to rounding, the totals do not match.) The total number of projected lead service lines is then
equal to the estimated number of known lead service lines plus the estimated number of unknown and
unreported lines that are projected to be lead, or 14,493:

5,415 + 9,078 = 14,493

Appendix B State-by-State Findings Charts

Appendix B presents State survey findings for each state and U.S. Territory.

The top two pie charts show the findings for total need by water system size and by project category,
representing the DWSRF-eligible infrastructure projects that are necessary over the 20-year period of
January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2040.

The middle bar chart and table present the estimated number of service lines by material and by water
system size, and the pie chart in the lower left presents the total estimated number by material. EPA
used survey response sample data to estimate the proportion of service lines in each state that are in
each of the five material type categories (including unknown and not reported).

The pie chart in the lower right shows the projected service lines findings for lead, galvanized, and all
other materials are the total number of service lines in each state that fit these three categories,
including unknown and unreported service lines that might be lead. These findings are projected from
the estimated findings based on the proportion of known service lines that are lead or galvanized to the
number of lines of known material.

See Appendix A for a detailed step-by-step description of the methodology used to develop service line
estimates.
