Another 50 or so property owners with lead service lines, leaching the cumulative toxicant into their drinking water, are in line for the next city tender to have those lines removed and replaced, says Sarnia’s operations and engineering general manager.

“We continue to encourage property owners to reach out and get on the list,” David Jackson said.

Sarnia announced last July it was covering the cost of lead-line replacements for homeowners, as well as those extending into public right-of-ways, over two to three years in a bid to try to make the city’s water lead-free.
