LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A dashboard updating progress on the replacement of lead drinking water service lines in the City of Benton Harbor is now available on the city’s website for public viewing.

  • The composition of service lines (lead, non-lead, galvanized, unknown).
  • The number of lines left to replace.
  • Dates and location of lead lines replaced.
  • Running monthly totals of lines replaced and those verified non-lead.
  • Updated percentages of service lines replaced and remaining to be replaced.

The first major infusion of funds from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law last month, is heading to states, tribes and U.S. territories in 2022, the Biden administration announced on Dec. 2. The EPA will distribute $7.4 billion to remediate ailing water infrastructure and lead pipes.

The funding is part of the legislation's $50 billion investment in water infrastructure, which will be doled out over five years. Of the initial distribution of funds, $2.9 billion will go to replace lead pipes and service lines, and $866 million is designated to address "forever chemicals" and other drinking water contaminants.

Indiana will get more than $127 million from the federal government to improve its drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. The funding comes from the roughly $50 billion in water and sewer funding in the recent bipartisan infrastructure law.

Most of the money will go to the state’s revolving funds — handled by the Indiana Finance Authority.

In a letter to Gov. Eric Holcomb, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan said the funding should primarily be used to replace lead pipes in drinking water and clean up PFAS contamination.

Lead pipe fix for NJ nearer as Newark finishes

The Press of Atlantic City

Two years ago, New Jersey’s largest city, Newark, was scrambling to address a serious threat to the safety of its drinking water. More than 20,000 water service lines in the city were made with lead, which is toxic when above levels allowed by regulation.

The National Resources Defense Council had sued the city the year before, alleging officials didn’t adequately monitor lead levels and played down the threat to residents.

Fixing the lead pipes was expected to take up to a decade. Residents were given water filters and told to use bottled water, as governments lined up funding and arranged for the replacement of service lines.
