ATLANTIC CITY MUA LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT

The Atlantic City MUA recently closed on a $6,286,199 loan with the NJ Water Bank to prioritize and remove lead service lines to reduce lead exposure to residents. The ACMUA has identified 441 locations of known galvanized/lead connection services and 1,931 service locations that need investigation totaling 2,372 lines to be inspected or replaced. According to the revised Lead and Copper Rules regulated by the US EPA, a minimum of 10% of the known galvanized /lead service lines must be replaced from the main to the home each calendar year until completed. This project addresses 10% of the total or 237 lines, either known or suspected to be lead, and replaced as necessary.
