Council approves 15-year lead service connection replacement program Back to video
“We have put in place a very viable program to remove lead piping from the city side and we have provided an interim measure through the water filter program which, when you take the two together, means that nobody should be finding themselves drinking water with lead in it,” said Coun. Bob Hawkins (Ward 2) during a city council meeting Wednesday.
But residents and councillors alike voiced concerns over the effectiveness of the lead removal water filter program as a stop-gap measure. The program offers a free water filter and replacements annually for residents who have LSCs but is currently sitting at a 20-per-cent participation rate.
