Veolia - Lead Service Line Project Update - 1/29 to 2/2

Posted on: January 26, 2024 - 1:40pm
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:

Monday 1/29

  • Crestwood Mews 
  • Montrose Terrace 
  • Elm St

Tuesday 1/30

  • Crestwood Mews 
  • Iroquois Ave 

Wednesday 1/31

  • Crestwood Mews 
  •  Pittis Ave 
  • Iroquois Ave  
  • Cherokee Ave 

Thursday 2/1 

  • Pittis Ave 
  • Cherokee Ave 
  • W Orchard St

Friday 2/2

  • Pittis Ave 
  • Ethel Ave 
  • Charles St 
  • Mallinson St

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? Here’s a video of one of our crews in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQv04aFTGKs

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.
