COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater Board of Public Utilities is scheduled to get a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund grant of $3 million in September which will be used to remove lead service lines in the city.
Water Superintendent Brian Musselman told the B.P.U. Board of Directors on Wednesday night all of the lines have to be removed by 2041.
He said an inventory found they had 1,240 lead service lines in the system.
Musselman said the B.P.U. will do the work.
He added the work is scheduled to start in September once they get the grant funds and they plan to continue until the ground freezes over the winter before resuming in the spring.
The grant funds cover piping and labor but not street repairs.
