Lynchburg Tackles Lead Pipes Head-On

Lynchburg’s about to get busy this July as crews start inspecting 16,000 water service lines—many of which are still unknown—thanks to a new state law aimed at eliminating lead from the city’s water. Homeowners get a free pipe replacement if lead or old galvanized pipes are found, with crews giving 14 days’ notice before digging small test pits to identify materials. City leaders hope this expanded access will finally accelerate the replacement of aging pipes, ensuring cleaner, safer water for everyone.
