A significant percentage of the lead service lines remaining in the United States are concentrated in Great Lakes communities. Thanks to historic federal investments, dedicated local leadership, and steadfast advocacy by residents, communities are beginning to make meaningful progress on removing lead service lines and reducing the risk of lead poisoning. BlueGreen Alliance and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative invite you to join us for a discussion with water department leaders from Chicago, Detroit, and Milwaukee on expanding lead service line replacement programs, accelerating the pace of replacement, and promoting water equity across Great Lakes communities.
