The Lockport City Council voted to award a $828,740 contract to Superior Excavation Company for the final phase of the city’s lead service‑line replacement program.
Mayor (speaker 1) introduced the resolution seeking council approval of the contract. A utilities/public‑works official (speaker 9) reported the work would replace the city's remaining 60 lead service connections and said that, with this contract, Lockport would be roughly a decade ahead of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s broad timetable to have lead services addressed by 2037. The official also said about 12 of the 60 property owners have been difficult to reach but staff expect to complete the replacements by year‑end.
The council moved and seconded the resolution and adopted it by roll call (8 ayes). The measure was described as covering the last lead services and advancing public‑health goals by accelerating replacement ahead of federal expectations.
The utilities representative summarized outreach: the city has contacted owners of remaining lines and will continue efforts to secure access; the contract award will allow crews to begin work as soon as required permits and inspections are complete.
No amendments to the contract language were proposed during the meeting. The council did not set a specific start date during the session.
