Lead Pipe Removed by City of Newark

From 2017 to 2019, Newark experienced consecutive exceedances of the federal limit for lead in drinking water. Distributing water filters and bottled water were only stopgap measures to addressing the issue: the solution was to replace all of the City’s 23,000 lead service lines (LSLs).
