City officials say the next phase of the program will focus on the continued replacement of galvanized service lines. Nearly 400 galvanized service lines have been replaced since 2022, and by mid-November, the approximately 900 remaining property owners will receive notification letters informing them that their homes have galvanized water service lines. Galvanized water service lines have been identified as a potential public health concern as they may have absorbed lead content from upstream lead laterals.
