10/30/2024
(UI) - Hours after construction progress was celebrated for Denver’s Lead Reduction Program on Monday, a water main break occurred, flooding the nearby street in the Curtis Park Neighborhood, according to Westword. The water main break affected 23 residents due to the incident, though the break was repaired later the same day.
The Lead Reduction Program aims to replace all lead services lines in the Denver Water service area, following approval and re-approval for the program in 2019 and 2022, respectively. The scope of the project is expected to span 60,000 lines throughout the city, approximately half of which have been replaced as of writing.
