Completing a project that started in April, Stoughton Utilities will replace the last lead water service line in the City of Stoughton at 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct, 21, and people are invited to stop by and see.

Stoughton Utilities commemorate this final removal by hosting a ceremony at the property, located at 1124 E Academy Street, joined by representatives from the project contractor, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, engineering consultants, and the City of Stoughton.

The replacement of this last water service line marks the end of an effort to locate and remove all the city’s lead water service lines. Throughout this year, workers replaced 698 water service lines, making Stoughton’s water distribution system completely lead free, according to a company news release.
