City staff says Post Office service line is lead and may need replacement under DNR rules

Richardson told the council that the section of service from the curb stop to the main at the Post Office contains lead and 'will need to be replaced due to DNR regulations.' He said he will obtain estimates and that if the Post Office proceeds with digging their service line, the city-side replacement could be done at that time.

Council did not vote on the matter during the meeting; Richardson presented the regulatory requirement and next steps for cost estimates. The minutes record Richardson's statement that replacement is required under DNR regulations but do not include a cost estimate at this time.
