The 186,000 lead lines are not in a single town, city or county but are all over the state, the Department of Environmental Protection commissioner said.
TRENTON, New Jersey -- Thousands of New Jersey households will soon be getting notified that their residences have lead service lines and will be replaced over the next decade under a 2021 state law, environmental regulators said.
There could be more households getting notifications, as well as about 500 community water systems that will conduct the legally required inventory to determine whether they have lead pipes. About 1 million pipes are undetermined, according to environmental officials. LaTourette, though, highlighted that lead pipes are not the only risk for exposure to the substance, which is also found in older paints and sometimes in the soil.
The letters will be distributed by Feb. 22, the commissioner said, with some likely already in the mail.
