= Lead service line replacement =

The City is replacing lead water service lines under the federal '''Lead and Copper Rule Improvements'''. The [[CityCommission]] took an EPA Lead and Copper Rule Improvements update at the work session of [[WorkSession2025-05-20]].

= The programme =

* The City updated its website with information about the water service line programme, reported by the [[CityManager]] at [[CityCommission2025-01-07]]
* A '''water service line replacement and temporary access agreement''' for SRF loan funded lead service line replacement was approved 5-0 at [[CityCommission2025-09-02]] — the instrument that lets City crews work on the private side of a service line
* The '''construction contract award for the lead service line replacement project''', Office File 1776.1, was approved 5-0 at [[CityCommission2026-04-07]]
* '''Resolution 10625''', relating to $398,000 of water system revenue bonds through the DNRC lead service line replacement programme — consisting of $239,000 subordinate lien taxable series and a further series — was adopted 4-0 at [[CityCommission2026-05-05]]

Funding runs through the State Revolving Fund and the DNRC drinking water programme, the same machinery used for the [[WaterTreatmentPlant]] rebuild. Because part of the replacement is on private property, the programme needs the access agreements as well as the money.
