Lead service line replacement projects
Today, there is a growing awareness that some homes have lead in their water pipes, fixtures and plumbing.
To reduce exposure to lead in drinking water, the City of Rochester has developed a lead service line replacement program with the intent to replace all lead services. Lead presents health concerns for people of all ages, particularly pregnant women, infants and young children.
The surest way to protect against lead in water is to get the lead out altogether!
