Council approves PFA grant and bid advertisement to replace lead and galvanized service lines
Summary
Pine Island approved a PFA grant agreement and plans to advertise bids to replace 47 identified lead or galvanized water service lines at no cost to homeowners, with the city to pay up front and seek 100% reimbursement.
Staff reported the city inventoried water service lines and identified 47 lead or galvanized lines eligible for replacement under a statewide PFA program. The city will pay for replacements and request 100% reimbursement from the PFA; staff said some previously identified lines (52 initially) were already replaced so the count was reduced to 47.
Council approved the grant agreement and Resolution 26‑35 to approve project plans and advertise for bids. Staff said the master agreement covers work through 2033 and that a project order is valid for two years; they noted the project could be phased and that property owners will be notified and consent obtained before work on private property.
