Project Description
The St. Louis Area Water Main Replacement and Lead Abatement Program will include the replacement of approximately 100 miles of main and adjacent customer-owned lead service lines. These replacements would directly provide new pipes and service lines to over 20,000 individuals and hundreds of businesses, schools, hospitals, and other public buildings. The purpose of the program is to proactively replace aged water mains to reduce main breaks and replace adjacent customer-owned lead service lines to eliminate the risk of lead leaching into the drinking water.
