lead pipe replacement

The state says residents can still face lead exposure due to lead pipes inside their homes. Residents are still being told not to drink the city's water.

According to a Tuesday release from the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, more than 90 percent of the lines in the city have now been inspected and replaced with copper lines or verified non-lead.

More than 10,000 lead service lines have been replaced since 2016.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Sunday that more than 80 percent of Benton Harbor’s lead water service lines have been replaced, putting the project ahead of schedule.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced over $7.3 million in grants to upgrade water infrastructure, replace lead service lines, and reduce or remove PFAS and other toxic contaminants.

Since elevated levels of lead were discovered in Benton Harbor’s tap water, the city has inspected or replaced roughly one in five water service lines. The goal is to complete the work by Spring 2023.
