This week’s heavy snow, icy conditions, and extreme cold have brought challenges to the DC region —exactly the kind of weather that can impact how DC Water’s Lead Free DC Program replaces lead service lines. That’s why we’re reminding you to join us tomorrow, January 28, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., for an important Lead Free DC (LFDC) virtual community meeting.

At the meeting, you’ll hear how DC Water adapts its work during the coldest months, get updates on our progress, and learn steps you can take to protect your pipes at home. We’ll cover the challenges of frozen ground, share the latest replacement data, and answer your questions about keeping water safe and reliable in winter.

Don’t miss this chance to stay informed and involved in the Lead Free DC Program. We look forward to seeing you there!

Begun in 2019, the Lead Free DC Program was created to accelerate lead service line replacements with the goal to replace all of the city’s estimated 42,000 lead service lines with copper pipe.

It’s part of DC Water’s 10-year, $9.6 billion Capital Improvement Program, committed to upgrading our water and sewer infrastructure to provide safe, reliable service for the nation’s capital today and in the future.
