Lead Service Line Replacement in Fort Gratiot

Lead Service Line Replacement in Fort Gratiot involves removing and replacing the lead water service line that connects your property to the municipal water main with a new, lead-free pipe. This service is crucial for homes built before 1960 or properties identified as having lead service lines, especially in light of Fort Gratiot's service-line replacement program, to eliminate lead contamination risks in drinking water.

Replacing lead service lines is paramount for public health, as lead exposure can cause severe developmental and neurological problems. Neglecting this service leaves residents vulnerable to lead contamination in their drinking water, despite municipal water treatment efforts.
