• 4,080 water services need to be replaced on the public side of the curb box. <br /> • Approximately 400 water services are commercial or industrial. <br /> The City has no all lead service lines in its system. The lead contaminated water <br /> services in the City's system are identified as rigid galvanized steel services that were <br /> connected at the main by a pliable lead "goose neck." Lead service lines are located <br /> in the older sections of the City and were generally installed prior to 1945. With <br /> some exceptions, older areas of the City often have lower property values and a <br /> reduced ability to pay for the full cost of replacement. The cost to replace the private <br /> side of a residential service is variable depending on the property and can cost <br /> between $2,500 - $6,000. <br /> Due to the hardship imposed on property owners who need to replace water services <br /> with possible lead contamination, it is proposed that the City share in the cost to <br /> replace identified services. The cost share to be offered is given in Table 1. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Type of Service %Cost Maximum <br /> Service Location Share Cost Share Additional Provisions <br /> Residential All work on private property will be completed by a <br /> With Leaking Private 100% private contractor retained by the property owner <br /> Water property $6'000 and paid 100% by the City.The City will provide all <br /> Service public right of way restoration. <br /> Residential All work on private property will be completed by a <br /> Voluntary Private private contractor, retained by the property owner <br /> Request to property 50% $3,000 and reimbursed 50% by the City.
