Clinton schedules hydro-vac work this summer to build lead-and-copper inventory; staff estimate about 400 service locations
Summary
City water staff told the council that a contractor will hydro-vac behind meter boxes in July–August to compile a lead-and-copper inventory; staff estimated the work will cover roughly 400 service locations and said residents will receive door-hanger notices.
City water staff told the Clinton City Council that the next phase of the water system’s lead-and-copper inventory will require contractor work in neighborhoods during July and August.
A staff presenter said crews will perform hydro-excavation behind meter boxes to collect plumbing information required by state protocols. The presenter said the state’s formula removes addresses where lead is known not to be present and that the resulting estimate for Clinton is "about 400" locations that will be dug.
Officials said residents will receive door-hanger notices in advance and that the contractor provided a list of 50–80 alternates to avoid disturbing landscaping. Staff emphasized the activity is part of federal/state requirements and the city’s prior attestations tied to pandemic-era funding compliance.
The council did not take a separate vote on the inventory work during the meeting; staff presented the timeline and outreach plan for informational purposes and asked citizens to contact the utility department with questions.
