"The City of Romulus will be conducting a lead service line replacement program during the summer, fall, and winter of 2026.

Approximately 100 residents will receive a letter notifying them that their home has been identified for inspection and potential lead service line replacement between June 2026 and August 2026. The City will mail each resident a notification letter, and the contractor will contact them directly to schedule an appointment.

This work will be provided at no cost to the resident and is funded through EPA grants secured with the assistance of the City's state legislators.

If your property was previously selected for water sampling, the City may continue to use your location for regulatory testing this summer. However, once the lead service line has been replaced, it is unlikely that your property will be selected for future testing unless there is a specific reason to test your water service.

The notification letter from the City will include contact information for the City's engineering consultant, contractor, and City officials. Please stay tuned for additional information regarding this program."

Sincerely,

Roberto Scappaticci
Director of Public Services and Public Works

On this day in 1944, thousands of Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history. Their bravery, brotherhood, and sacrifice secured freedoms that generations continue to enjoy today.

We honor the heroes who faced impossible odds so the world could have a future.
