There’s more than one way to replace your lead service line. Join DC Water’s Lead Free DC (LFDC) team and explore the options available to you during our virtual meeting on Wednesday, October 22, from 6 –7 PM.

This session will highlight LFDC programs that offer more control over scheduling, including how to hire a DC Water approved contractor and begin the work on your schedule. Depending on the program, costs may be fully covered by the District and DC Water, or partially paid by the homeowner.   

We’ll also share updates on DC Water’s District-wide effort to replace all lead service lines and provide resources to help you get more information.
