How is Denver Water identifying when and where to replace service lines?

  • As part of the Lead Reduction Program, Denver Water has developed a comprehensive inventory showing the location of known and suspected lead service lines in our service area using property records, water tests and visual inspection of service lines. 
  • Denver Water is using this inventory and a sophisticated model, both of which are constantly being updated with new information, to guide decisions about where to look for lead service lines and the timing of replacing these lines.

Amount of nonfunctional turf grass removed: 7,000 square feet.
