Pittsburgh Water continues to move the needle on our nationally recognized Community Lead Response program, reaching two major milestones in water quality and public health in 2025.

As of December, we officially replaced our 14,000th lead service line. This consistent, aggressive progress is why Pittsburgh Water is regarded as a regional and national leader in proactively removing lead service lines, moving faster than many comparable water systems in the country.

Last year, we also recorded lead levels at our lowest level yet, just 2 parts per billion (read more in our "Customer Trust" section). Pittsburgh Water is committed to replacing all residential lead lines in our system to ensure cleaner, safer water for current and future generations of Pittsburghers. Through our swift, efficient process of replacing both the publicly and privately owned portions of any lead-based service lines we detect, we’re well on our way to reaching this goal before the close of 2027 — and all at no direct cost to customers.

This year and into 2027, we’ll remain focused on our remaining lead line replacement work and will be sure to update the community and our customers as we continue to reach further milestones. We encourage our customers to learn more at pgh2o.com/lead.
