Ferndale begins process to replace lead service lines

FERNDALE — The Ferndale City Council unanimously approved a request from its Department of Public Works to submit an application to the state for a $10 million loan to conduct lead service line replacements.

At its June 22 meeting, the council held a public hearing to discuss a possible loan from the state of Michigan’s Drinking Water Revolving Fund, which comes from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, known as EGLE.

As DPW Deputy Director Dan Antosik put it during the meeting, the state adopted in 2018 the most “stringent” Lead and Copper Rule in the country. Requirements from the LCR include additional water sample testing for lead and copper, the identification of water service line material across the community by 2025, and the replacement of all lead and galvanized service lines at an average rate of 5% per year over the next 20 years.

Antosik said Ferndale has been in compliance with all state reporting when it comes to lead levels not exceeding EGLE’s action level of 15 parts per billion.
