COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater Board of Public Utilities got a report Wednesday night on the progress of replacing lead water service lines in the city.
The CBPU got a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund grant of $3 million in September of 2022 which is being used to remove the lines.
Water Superintendent Brian Musselman told the B.P.U. Board of Directors on Wednesday night the grant goes until September of 2025.
Originally, all of the lines had to be removed by 2041. An inventory a couple of years ago found that there were 1,240 lead service lines in the system.
The grant funds cover piping and labor but not street repairs.
So what? The rich sections have all new infrastructure. Only the peasants have lead pipes.
