City of Crown Point, Final Phase of Lead Inspection Program for Water Service Lines
The City of Crown Point has engaged Commonwealth Engineers, Inc., a leading provider of water resource engineering, to assist the City in a lead inspection program for water service lines. The inspection program is ongoing and will be entering its final phase in the calendar year 2026.
The final phase of the inspections will begin on January 26, 2026
In response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s requirement to ensure all water service lines are free of any lead material, the City of Crown Point has and will continue to take proactive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of residents. The initiative involves locating and inspecting water service lines in high-risk areas to identify the presence of lead to safeguard against potential health hazards.
Key components of the inspection program include:
- Locating Meter Pits and Curb Stops
- Identifying Routing from Pit to Main and Pit to Your Home
- In-Home Inspections of Water Service Line to Shut-Off Valves
The final phase of the inspection program is meant to target all residents who have not been contacted to this point or who have been contacted in the past with no response. Commonwealth Engineers, Inc. will request permission to access residential properties. Homeowners are requested to allow access to inspect the water service line entry point and assess the material and plumbing layout. This is essential to ascertain the need and approach for replacement of the water service supply lines from water meters into homes up to and including the existing shut-off valve or similar components, ensuring the integrity and safety of the water distribution system.
This project will allow the City of Crown Point to apply for grant funding for service line improvement work, including providing qualifying homeowners FREE replacement of their service lines from the meter pit/curb stop to and including the shut-off valve (in their home).
The service line from the meter into the home is owned by the homeowner. Without taking advantage of programs such as this, the homeowner runs the risk of being liable for the full cost of a future replacement. We encourage everyone to take maximum advantage of this program while the funding and opportunity are available.
Homeowners who are asked to schedule their inspections will receive a notice letter and/or notice on their front door with contact information and instructions on scheduling the in-home inspection.
