1. Lead private water service line replacement presentation
Water Superintendent Durst gave a PowerPoint presentation on private lead water service line
replacement. The presentation discussed the following:
Lead Service Lines – Not All systems are the same
Lead damages the nervous system. There are so many sources of lead.
Legislation to remove lead has lagged behind evidence. Flint, MI created a focus on drinking
water.
The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) changes are extensive. They will focus
awareness of lead services lines, cause lead sample results to increase, and mandate lead
service line removal.
Iowa City water lead action level results have been <=15ppb. The proposed 10 ppb trigger
level and new sample methods will obligate the City into a lead service replacement
program. Sample 30 homes every 3 years.
If the City lead sample results are >15 ppb, then 3% of the known and unknown lead service
lines are required to be replaced annually.
Service lines are privately owned in Iowa City. Analogous to the driveway. Lead source in
drinking water typically comes from inside the home.
The public water distribution system is 280 miles. There is more than 500 miles of privately
owned service line in Iowa City. Annually, about 20-24 services lines break. Most
homeowners are unaware of their ownership of water or sanitary service lines
Our current low estimate is ~3,000 lead service unknows and ~100 confirmed lead service
lines. Work on service lines costs ~$6,000 to $30,000 each, resulting in $10M+ worth of
work to identify and remove.
The Federal Bipartisen Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding did allowcate money for lead service
via SRF. 49% is to be forgivable loans to disadvantaged communities(DAC). A DAC
designation is tied to census tract information and resulting points are awarded. Iowa City’s
lead service lines are likely not in a DAC – must score >15 points.

2. Clarification of Agenda Items
Council Bergus noted she would be recusing herself on item 8.a Rezoning – 2640 N. Scott Blvd.
3. Information Packet Discussion [April 20, April 28]
April 20 –
1. (IP1 – Council Tentative Meeting Schedule) City Manager Fruin mentioned that
Council usually has a reduced summer schedule. City Clerk Fruehling stated there
was only one meeting scheduled in July.
April 28 -
1. (IP3 – Pending City Council Work Session Topics) Councilor Thomas mentioned
adding Chicken Ordinance on behalf of Councilor Dunn who was unable to attend
the Council Work Session. Majority of Councilors agreed to add the item to the
pending work session list.
Action: Review of the urban chicken ordinance will be added to the Pending List for a
work session date to be determined.
4. University of Iowa Student Government (USG) Updates.
Keaton Zeimet, USG Liaison and Noah LeFevre, USG Alternate Liaison, presented USG Updates.
