Programs and Guidelines
As part of our effort to provide excellent customer service, BWSC offers a number of programs that can assist you. Below is a brief description of each program.
Lead Replacement Incentive Program
Excessive amounts of lead in the body can present health risks. Lead generally is not present in source water but can enter the tap water through corrosion of plumbing materials. Prior to 1950, lead was used for exterior plumbing connections and can be found in older buildings. If the service line at your property is made of lead, you are encouraged to utilize the Lead Replacement Program to replace it and protect the health of residents in the building.
Leak Up To Owner Program
When a service pipe leaks, it is essential that it be fixed promptly and correctly. The results of a water service pipe leak can be destructive as well as pose health risks. BWSC refers to a water service pipe leak that occurs on private property, which is the owner’s responsibility to repair, as a leak up to owner, or LUTO.
