During a recent government meeting, Mister Lafond presented an important update regarding a city-wide survey aimed at identifying lead service lines in Sanofi. This initiative stems from new regulations set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which mandates the removal of all lead-containing services, a requirement established since 1986.

The city has contracted a company to distribute surveys to property owners, assessing the presence of lead services within the jurisdiction. Lafond emphasized the urgency of this survey, noting that it is a critical first step in addressing public health concerns related to lead exposure. The survey results will inform the next phase of the project, which will focus on the removal of any identified lead service lines.

Property owners are encouraged to complete the surveys, which may be received through various channels, including their banks' escrow services. This proactive approach aims to ensure the safety and well-being of residents by eliminating potential sources of lead contamination in the water supply.
