“Dear PoPville,
As an FYI, I’ve been repeatedly contacting DC Water and DOEEE about what the timeline for lead replacement of the main (and private) water lines are like in DC.
I’ve been contacted by contractors asking us to pay them >$15K to replace our private lead lines that come up to the house from the street. After some digging, I found that all public lead water lines are promised to be replaced by 2030 (and potentially many private lines), but the funding falls far short of getting it done anytime close to then.
I also found a dense document on DC Water’s website that lists the methodology and priority scale for every block to be replaced (even though some like mine are contradictory in it) but DC Water won’t even verify if their plan is accurate or what the plan is.
I was wondering if anyone knew any other info, or which officials were leading or pushing for this issue in the city?”
