Gina Ramirez, Natural Resources Defense Council: “We know that there’s no safe level of lead.”“Any home that tests over 15 ppb [parts per billion]—the standard to which municipal water systems are held—receives a free follow-up visit from a DWM team consisting of an electrician, plumber, and sanitary engineer to make custom recommendations about mitigating lead levels,” said Megan Vidis, spokesperson for the department.
“Additionally, homes testing above 15 ppb receive free filter sets and are prioritized in the Equity Lead Service Line Replacement Program if they are income qualified,” Vidis said.to see if they qualify for a free residential service line replacement. One requirement is that a household must fall below 80 percent of the area median income. This means a household income under $88,250 for a family of four and under $61,800 for an individual.
The contractor will then complete the service line replacement, and a city inspector will review the installation before water management staff connect the new service line to the water main. “Those [EPA] action levels don’t mean anything to me as a mom of a son who has autism,” said Ramirez. “We know that there’s no safe level of lead.”
