The City of New London is working on becoming the first municipality in the state to have lead-free water service lines that lead to homes. City leaders said as much as 75% of the three-year project could be funded through state and federal funding, possibly through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, which aims to help distressed communities. The project is expected to cost $36 million. New London is receiving $5 million in federal funds for each of the three phases of this project. In January, New London Mayor Michael E. Passero was invited to the White House, where Vice President Kamala Harris hosted an Accelerating Lead Pipe Replacement Summit. The pipe removal will begin in the spring once the ground thaws. At that time, residents can expect to see construction workers start their work.
