Cities across the country are looking to replace their lead water lines, but part of the challenge is figuring out where they are.
Most of the lead water lines served by the Cleveland Division of Water are connected to homes and businesses in the city or its inner-ring suburbs.CLEVELAND, Ohio –
The alliance, which promotes research and innovation related to water, has issued a challenge to innovators to come up with a solution and Cleveland’s water department has constructed a pipe farm on city property in Parma Heights that will serve as a test bed for research. The federal bipartisan infrastructure law allocates $15 billion to help identify and replace lead service lines, and while replacing the lines has yet to be mandated, it’s believed that could happen fairly soon, Margevicius said.
Most of the lead lines used by the Cleveland water department are in Cleveland and the inner-ring suburbs. Also, most of the lead is likely to be found in the city-owned portion of the line, which extends from beneath the road to the curb-stop where it then connects to the customer’s portion of the line.
The utilities working with the alliance set certain parameters that must be incorporated into the technology. For example, it can’t require entry into somebody’s home or cause the disturbance of the lead in the pipes.
