Denver Water Sets The Stage For Sweeping LSL Replacements, Partners With 120Water For Modern Sample Management

Denver Water provides clean, safe drinking water to a diverse community of 1.5 million people in the City and County of Denver and surrounding counties. Although Denver Water’s distribution system contains no lead pipes, they estimate that 64,000-84,000 customer-owned lead service lines are connected to their system. In January 2020 Denver Water launched its Lead Reduction Program. The program is a holistic strategy to reduce levels of lead in drinking water by adjusting pH/alkalinity, accelerating the replacement of all customer-owned lead service lines by 2035, and providing customers with filters until their service line is replaced.
