The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County said they believe about three percent of their water system contains lead service lines and have started the process to notify impacted home and business owners. The Trib reports that officials with the MAWC said a project to identify lead service lines that started in 2021 has confirmed more than 2,400 lines throughout the authority’s five-county service area. The authority has released a map that details its findings, in which property owners can check to see if their waterlines were identified as containing lead. The map continues to be updated. The authority this year received a $1 million state grant to replace as many as 200 lead lines and is seeking another $10 million in state loans to continue the replacement program.
