Description
Lead service lines were primarily installed in the City of St. Paul from late 1880’s to the late 1920’s. For 25 years Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) has been replacing lead water service lines within the street right-of-way to reduce the possibility of lead exposure.

Private Lead Service Line Replacements: Customers in this project area who have a private lead service line are eligible to have it replaced at no cost as part of the new Lead Free SPRWS program. You should have received a letter with instructions on next steps if you qualify. To learn more visit our lead page.

In anticipation of an upcoming Mill and Overlay project on Hurley Avenue and Arion Street, SPRWS will be replacing all existing lead services within the street right-of way with copper pipe. This project is completely funded by SPRWS with no charge to the property owner. The scope of the project is as follows:

  • Replace approximately 30 lead services with copper pipe in the street right of way.
  • Replace lead service lines in private property for participating customers.
  • SPRWS to excavate, repair, and restore street pavement, curb, and sidewalk as needed

Location
Hurley Avenue from Robert Street to Wallner Street
Arion Street from Stryker Avenue to Gorman Avenue

Timeline
Project scheduled to begin on April 18th.
