  • Residential Lead & Copper Sampling Sites - Pending posting of location map.
  • Other known locations of lead or galvanized water service lines - Pending positing of location map.
  • Other locations based on age of the neighborhood - Pending posting of location map.

Property owners will be contacted if a lead or galvanized service line was identified on your property.  Property owners who know (not presume) that their water service line is made of lead or galvanized material, may contact Dave Haut at 989-725-0560 or email at: dave.haut@ci.owosso.mi.us to register for a site visit.

Scheduled removal of lead or galvanized service lines will be on a first identified priority basis until all available grant funds are expended.  Identification will be performed by hired contractors working for the City of Owosso.  Some of the water services to be replaced will be owned by the City of Owosso, which are also required by the MDEQ to be removed.
