BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION

Safe Water Engineering is assisting DWSD with writing policies and procedures to ensure DWSD is in compliance with the Michigan Lead and Copper Rule. This includes working with staff to draft a proposed Lead Service Line Replacement Program for submission to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy for approval.  DWSD must incorporate policies and procedures into daily work flows to comply with the rule. Safe Water Engineering has been instrumental in helping DWSD prepare for the changes in Michigan law and in moving forward to minimize lead in drinking water.

This amendment will allow Safewater Engineering to continue services for the implementation of DWSD’s FLSLR and compliance with Michigan’s “Lead and Copper Rule”. Also, assisting DWSD in striving to remove approximately 125,000 lead service lines within 20 years.
