Service Line Replacement Pilot Program

Properties with confirmed lead or galvanized service lines in selected areas of the city can receive free service line replacement.

As part of our mission to keep drinking water safe, we’re exploring new ways to replace lead and galvanized service lines. We’re doing this work with a limited number of property owners to better understand the experience and costs of providing this service.

Who is eligible?

  • Properties must have a confirmed lead or galvanized service line. Service lines categorized as an incomplete record are not eligible.
  • The property must be in the selected pilot area. We received federal funding to support lead service line replacement in select ZIP codes (19104, 19131, 19133, 19134, 19139, 19140, 19142, 19143, 19151, 19153). Properties within these ZIP codes were selected based on having a confirmed lead or galvanized service line.
  • Only properties that recieved a letter about this pilot are eligible to participate.

Are you not sure if your property received a letter?

Confirm you live in one of the target ZIP codes and have a service line listed as Lead or Galvanized on the Service Line Map.
