ICYMI — 10,000 lead service lines have been replaced in Milwaukee — thanks to the incredible work of @milwaukeedpw - @WaterWorksMKE, our able contractors, the women and men of the trade unions, and the continued partnership of residents in the city.
We’ve got a ways to go and my administration is ramping up our efforts to remove even more — like the 2,700 we removed in 2024 alone!
We’re building a city where no child is exposed to lead via drinking water and we’re going to accomplish this big goal, together.
I joined the @WaterWorksMKE team to mark an important milestone: 10,000 lead service lines replaced in our city.
This is vital work for the health and safety of our residents—and together, we’re making steady progress toward replacing the 65,000 lines that remain.

ALT A photograph captures a lead service line replacement in Milwaukee, part of the city's initiative to reduce lead in drinking water. In the image, workers are actively excavating a residential street to access and replace the lead pipes. The scene includes construction equipment, safety barriers, and the exposed pipeline, illustrating the hands-on efforts involved in upgrading the city's water infrastructure. Overlaying the photo is text stating, "The City of Milwaukee is working to reduce lead in drinking water through a program to replace roughly 65,000 residential service lines.

We are so happy individuals and families can enjoy bikeways like the one on Hawley Road. The new jersey barriers were placed to provide better protection and that work will continue as weather allows. The same work will be done to the North Ave bridge. This is just the beginning!
