Lead pipe replacement law in West Virginia
West Virginia has not set its own state-specific lead service line replacement deadline beyond the federal requirement below. The rule is implemented through the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources' Office of Environmental Health Services (OEHS), in partnership with the Department of Environmental Protection, under the nationwide Lead and Copper Rule Improvements schedule.
Separately from any state law, the EPA's federal Lead and Copper Rule Improvements require every water system nationwide to submit a baseline inventory and an approved replacement plan by November 1, 2027, then fully replace all lead and "galvanized requiring replacement" lines under its control on a schedule of 10 years or less from that date, replacing at least 10% of its known lead/GRR lines per year. A narrow exception allows a longer schedule only for the roughly 1% of systems with an unusually dense concentration of lead lines, and partial (non-emergency) replacements are prohibited.
