Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) replaced lead water service lines on Concordia/Rondo Avenue. The construction area was in a number of locations along Concordia/Rondo Avenue where lead water service lines were replaced at various properties. Properties scheduled for lead water service line replacement should receive communications from SPRWS.
The SPRWS Board of Water Commissioners adopted a 10-year plan in 2022, Lead Free SPRWS, to replace all lead service lines from its service area. You are eligible for the program if you previously received a letter regarding replacement of your private lead service line.
