Warwick to Receive Share of $30M State Fund for Lead Service Line Project
The Village of Warwick will benefit from a $30 million state funding program to address lead service line inventory projects. Lead pipes are commonly found in water systems across the U.S. and pose health risks, especially to infants, young children, and pregnant women. Because of these risks, communities are working to find and replace these dangerous pipes in their water systems.
Warwick has already begun proactive measures to locate potentially harmful lead pipes. After the Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions which took effect on December 16, 2021, municipalities like Warwick are required to develop a comprehensive service line inventory by 2024. This initiative ensures all water utilities identify where lead pipes are present.

Warwick conducts regular lead testing within its municipal water system, with twenty-two customer locations being monitored for safety. The exact funding allocation for each municipality, including the Village of Warwick, is still pending state decisions.
This funding is a big step toward safeguarding public health and ensuring clean, lead-free drinking water for the Warwick community.
