Branches larger than a 4-inch diameter don’t fit in the chipper.
Homeowners must dispose of larger branches on their own.

Water Line Material Survey

IMPORTANT REMINDER!

Lathrup Village residents are being asked to help to identifying if the water service material that connects to the water meter in their home contains lead, copper, or galvanized steel.

The City has received 126 responses to the survey so far! As expected, most properties have copper lines connecting to their water meters inside of their homes. But, it is important to note that 10 homes have been identified as having lead and 4 with galvanized steel. The lead and galvanized steel water service lines will be placed on the list and scheduled for replacement of the entire water service line – at the expense of the city.

If you haven’t already participated in the survey, please take a moment to participate in this important survey. Additional information about this requirement is available at this link and in this eNewsletter.

The information submitted will be reviewed by staff and loaded onto a GIS map and database. This will make it easier for the Department of Public Service to identify the materials for each property and which may require replacement., which is required by the State of Michigan.
