First Stop Nov 19: Enjoy Free Giveaways and Live Music While Learning about LFDC

DC Water’s Lead Free DC (LFDC) Program is going on the road with a Ward Wide Tour. We’ll be spreading the word about replacing lead service lines with fun, festive community pop-up events making stops in all eight wards.

The tour kicks off next week in Ward 1 at Bruce Monroe Community Park. Come out between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to enjoy live music, entertainment, and free prize giveaways. Our LFDC team will be on hand with everything you need to know about our free lead service line replacement program. We’ll answer your questions about how to identify and replace lead pipes and what programs are available. It’s all free – the pop-up events – and lead service line replacements.

Launched in 2019, DC Water’s LFDC initiative has already replaced more than 14,000 lead service lines across the District.

The program was created to accelerate lead service line replacements. To-date, more than 34% of the estimated 42,000 properties with lead service lines or galvanized iron have been replaced with copper.

Join us at one of our upcoming community pop-up events to see how you can benefit from this important program. You’ll also have an opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with our team to help you get started.

Scheduled pop-up locations and times are below. More dates will be announced soon.

• Ward 1: Thursday, November 19, 4-7 p.m., Bruce Monroe Community Park
• Ward 2: Wednesday, December 2, 4-7 p.m., Outside Emmy Squared Pizza, intersection of Florida Avenue NW and Eighth Street NW
