City Of Mulberry Public Engagement Forum Workshop
The workshop focused on the City's fully grant-funded Lead Service Line Replacement Project. Officials discussed the federal requirements necessitating the identification and classification of potable water service lines. Representatives outlined the two-phase project, noting that an inventory of properties built before 1986 identified approximately 70 locations with potential lead service lines. Participation is voluntary, and the City is offering free replacement of qualifying lines for participating property owners. Key aspects covered included the necessity of a Temporary Easement Agreement, the scope of work involving replacement from the water meter to the building entry, and the project timeline extending through September 2027. Officials also addressed water quality standards and strategies for conducting outreach to affected property owners to encourage participation.
