Middletown survey will look for lead water service pipes, a rare but significant danger

The Common Council on Monday unanimously approved the $355,000 survey, which will be done by the Kleinfelder engineering firm of Rocky Hill. A state grant will pay 75 percent of that cost while the city will borrow 25 percent, or $88,750, from the state Department of Public Health’s drinking water revolving fund, according to the council’s resolution. The city has a major leg up on the project. It has information on about 80 percent of the service lines in town, and none of them contain lead, said Joseph S. Fazzino, the director of the Water and Sewer Department. The council’s resolution says the city already has preliminary state approval for the $4.5 million construction phase of the project.
