Many homeowners in Grand Rapids received letters notifying of possible or known lead service lines leading to their homes. The letters show the results of water testing since 1997, and an explanation of city measures to combat lead leaching into drinking water.
“That means we think they are served by a lead service line,” said Wayne Jernberg, the assistant water system manager. “We either know they served by a lead service line or it’s presumed they are served by a lead service line.”
Jernberg said the letter itself is a requirement by the state, to let residents within city limits know of possible lead lines. It’s part of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)’s increased response to combat lead and copper in drinking water after the Flint Water Crisis.
