Quick Glance: Chicago Finally Removing Toxic Lead Pipes During Water Main Replacement
- On each of the 792 miles excavated, crews hired by the Department of Water Management are connecting new cast-iron water mains to old lead pipes known as service lines that bring water into single-family homes and two-flats.
- A 2021 state law mandates small Illinois water utilities to replace all lead service lines within 15 years.
- Another provision of the law requires service lines to be replaced whenever a new water main is installed.
- Like many other cities, Chicago adds corrosion-fighting chemicals to the water supply that, in theory, form a protective coating inside lead pipes to prevent leaching.
