Lead service line notification letters are part of an ongoing effort to identify and replace aging lead service lines throughout New York City. Understanding what your letter means is the first step to protecting your property and your water supply.
At Harris Water Main & Sewer, we help property owners navigate these notices and complete any required replacement work in accordance with NYC regulations. We have over 108 years of experience, so if you’ve received a lead pipe notification letter from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), you can rely on us for clear answers and a safe solution.
Lead pipe notifications are issued as part of a mandatory city and federal initiative to identify and eliminate lead from drinking water. Older properties may still have lead service lines connecting the water main to the building, and these pipes can introduce lead into the drinking water over time. Since lead exposure can pose serious health risks, particularly for young children and pregnant women, NYC continues to identify affected properties and require lead service line replacement where necessary.
If your property has a lead service line and you’ve received one of these notices, replacement is the property owner’s responsibility and must comply with current regulations. The best next step is to schedule a professional assessment with a licensed contractor. As experienced specialists, Harris Water Main & Sewer can verify whether your service line is made of lead, explain your options and help you complete replacement when required.
Harris Water Main & Sewer is a fourth-generation, family-owned business. For over a century, we’ve helped NYC property owners complete complex water main replacements using a proven process to meet lead service line compliance requirements. Our team guides you through every step.
Every project begins with a transparent on-site assessment. Before recommending a replacement, we perform a thorough inspection and professional water main lead testing in NYC to verify whether your pipe is made of lead. If replacement isn’t necessary, we’ll tell you.
If lead is confirmed, we’ll manage your entire lead service line replacement. Our team coordinates permits, schedules the work and ensures every stage of the project meets NYC DEP lead service line program requirements. With Harris Water Main & Sewer overseeing the process, you won’t have to coordinate multiple contractors or navigate city paperwork on your own.
New York City code makes lead pipe repair illegal, so replacement is the only compliant solution. Our licensed crews safely remove the existing lead pipe and install a durable new copper service line in accordance with current standards. Once the work is complete, we handle the final documentation to certify your property as lead-free and officially close out your notice with the city.
