Middletown reports 1,100 unverified service lines; staff cites $4.5M replacement grant
Summary
Staff told the board the state-required service-line inventory left roughly 1,100 properties with unknown or unverified service-line material; the department reported a $4.5 million grant for replacement but transcript remarks about matching percentages were unclear and will be clarified in follow-up.
Staff told the board the department submitted required service-line inventory data to the state and still has approximately 1,100 service connections with unknown or unverified materials from older records. A staff member said the department is continuing property-level surveys and outreach and will notify affected customers using state-provided letters once the inventory is finalized.
On funding, staff reported receiving a $4,500,000 grant intended to fund a multi-year replacement phase following the inventory. The transcript included unclear wording about matching percentages for that award; staff said they will provide precise documentation and funding splits to the board in follow-up communications. "We still have approximately 1,100 that were either unknown or classified as lehi from old information, but, they still need to be verified," a staff member said during the presentation.
