MOUNT VERNON — The City of Mt. Vernon has released details surrounding its Lead Service Line Replacement Program; they say is a comprehensive effort aimed at safeguarding the community from the potential health risks associated with lead in service lines.

In 2023, the City conducted a cross-connection and service line material survey to identify the locations of lead water lines in the community.

The responses were compiled into a comprehensive Lead Service Inventory Report, which is now available for public viewing on the city’s official website at mtvernon.com/lead.

The City will soon be issuing an informational public notice to residents that will provide more details about the Lead Service Line Replacement Program and the steps the City will be taking to replace the necessary lines. The project is set to begin in 2026 and is estimated to span over a period of 10 years.
