Council accepts $500,000 in state grants to map lead service lines
Summary
Council approved for first reading an amendment to the FY2025 budget to accept two Virginia Department of Health grants totaling $500,000 to support a lead service line inventory required by the EPA.
Councilman Veil moved to amend the fiscal year 2025 budget appropriation ordinance to accept two Virginia Department of Health grants of $250,000 each (totaling $500,000) to assist the city’s lead service line inventory efforts as directed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The motion was seconded for first reading.
The appropriation will fund the inventory required under EPA guidance; council did not take a final (adopt/adopted) vote beyond first reading during the meeting. City staff and the relevant department will bring the ordinance back for the required second reading and any implementation details.
What’s next: second reading and appropriation paperwork will be scheduled as required by the city’s ordinance procedures.
