Service Line Notification Letters

On October 8, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a rule revision that requires drinking water providers across the country to identify and begin to plan the replacement of lead service lines that provide drinking water to homes and businesses. As a part of this rule change, the City of Lakewood Water Department is required to notify owners of homes and buildings whose service lines are made of lead, galvanized steel, or are unknown.

Roughly 4,000 notification letters have gone out to Lakewood property owners whose buildings meet one of these criteria.

If you received a letter and have questions, please reach out to the Division of Water and Wastewater Collection at (216) 529-5942.
