ARLINGTON — A Bennington engineering firm’s work in identifying and replacing lead drinking water lines won the company $25,000 to assist with the costs of business innovation.

MSK Engineers, in Bennington, won Lever’s Bennington County Intrapreneur Challenge on Friday. The team of civil engineers centers its work around eliminating lead water pipes from Bennington and beyond. The consulting firm’s mission is to develop projects that will improve communities by making everyone’s drinking water safe and healthy.

“Lead is so toxic to humans that there is no lead contaminant level safe for drinking water,” said Jason Dolmetsch, president of MSK Engineers.
