The City of Linton is taking proactive steps to safeguard public health and upgrade local infrastructure by launching a fully funded water service line inspection and replacement initiative for community members.
With grant funding from the State of Indiana, the City of Linton is preparing to inspect and replace lead and galvanized water service lines across the community. This essential infrastructure upgrade is designed to meet the necessary environmental requirements of the EPA Lead and Copper Rule Improvements. Best of all, any eligible inspections and replacements will be completed at absolutely no cost to the property owner.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2027. The city and its contractors will ensure that any disturbed property areas, such as driveways or landscaping, are restored to their original preconstruction condition as closely as possible. Additionally, the city offers a one year warranty on the replacement work.
How to Participate
To keep this vital project moving forward, the city needs property owners to submit their approval before January 1, 2027. Residents must complete the Right of Entry Agreement, which grants the city and its contractors temporary permission to access the property for inspection and potential replacement work.
You can submit this agreement by dropping it off at the Utility Business Office, mailing it to the city, or completing it electronically using the QR code provided in the official letter. Because funding may be limited, the city is prioritizing eligible customers on a first come, first served basis.
Community Impact
This initiative represents a significant investment in the bright future of Linton. By replacing aging lead and galvanized pipes, the city is protecting the drinking water quality for generations to come while sparing homeowners from steep out of pocket maintenance costs. Community cooperation is the key to ensuring a smooth transition to a safer and more reliable water system.
