(WBAY) - The City of Shawano is taking steps to remove lead water lines from homeowners’ properties over the next two years. “We’re planning on removing 200 to 250 lead service lines in the city of Shawano this year and hopefully about the same next year and get that taken care of,” Shawano Public Workers Director Scott Kroening said. It’s a process that’s been ongoing in Shawano for many years, but it’s become more urgent after three homes exceeded the maximum containment level for lead last summer. “We do testing in residential homes every other year. We do 20 homes that we test, and of the twenty, in 2020, in our third quarter testing back in July, we did have three exceedances. They were just barely over the maximum contaminant level,” Kroening said. See the full article. Comments are closed.
