SOUTHWICK — After a ruling by the federal Environmental Protection Agency last October that every lead or copper water line in the country must be replaced in 12 years, the DPW is continuing its effort to verify the materials used in the water service lines of every home in town with a new initiative.
“We still have more data to collect,” DPW Director Randy Brown said about the data collection effort, coordinated by Tighe & Bond, to reach out to about 1,600 homeowners in town with door hangers to learn if their water service lines are lined with lead or contain copper.
