Service Line repairs
by Pam I 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Has anyone else gotten a letter from the PWSA saying that they are going to excavate their service lines and if the lines are lead, replace them? I'm most concerned with the statement that unless we replace our lines at the same time, we're going to have 6 months of lead-tainted water coming into the house. I'm also concerned about what I'm expecting to be a large unplanned-for expense that's about to hit us. 1) are there resources out there to help defray these costs? 2) any input on plumbers to use or avoid? [I do want lead lines replaced. I'm just concerned about how it's being done.] Thanks.
