Brookfield set to begin replacing lead water pipes

Climate’s Frontline

The first phase of the project is estimated to cost $4 million By AMINA SERGAZINA Staff Reporter

Brookfield is launching the first phase of its lead service line replacement project to remove lead water service lines in the village and replace them with copper pipes. The project is part of a statewide mandate to eliminate lead exposure from drinking water to improve public health. The first phase of the project is estimated to cost $4 million, according to Brookfield’s 2024 budget.
