“Dear PoPville,
What is the deal with lead pipe digging in DC?
This company Spiniello shuts down the street and then digs and digs the same yards “looking for lead pipes” a couple times a week. They keep coming back to my street (Petworth/Brightwood Park) every few weeks to dig again. Any idea why they need to keep digging?
I am hearing other people in the city say they replace their lead pipes and then get their yard dug up a few weeks later.”
