Veolia

Veolia is in Allendale as part of its sweeping, $159 million project to protect residents by removing lead from the system. 

Beginning Monday, August 14, 2023, crews will be working to determine whether homes along 10 streets have a lead service line. This may include some digging, but representatives may also ask for access to the meter of some residents. The company will restore any areas that are disturbed during this process.

If led is found, Veolia will remove it AT NO COST TO THE HOMEOWNER. 

At this time,  J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, Inc. (Creamer), a Veolia partner will be working on the following streets:

Tuesday 1/2/24

  • Colonial Dr
  • Surrey Ln 
  • Forest Rd
  • Allen St 

Wednesday 1/3/24

  • Wehner Pl
  • Valley Rd 
  • Midwood Ave 

Thursday 1/4/24

  • Leigh Ct 
  • Linda Dr 
  • Midwood Ave 

Friday 1/5/24

  • Linda Dr 
  • Lori Ln 
  • Sheri Dr 
  • Sheri Dr

If you have any questions, please call Veolia at  1-800-422-5987.

You may see small flags marking water and gas lines on properties. This is required ahead of any digging. Please do not disturb the flags.

Since 2019, Veolia has had more than a dozen crews working every day to replace lead service lines, the pipes from run from the main in the street to an individual home. We've removed more than 12,000 lines so far -- and we aren't slowing down until all the lead is gone. How do we do it?

Veolia appreciates your patience. In the field and the lab, we’re working every day to remove lead and ensure our customers have superior drinking water and reliable service for generations to come.
