The LeadCare Cook County program recently completed its 100th lead service line replacement, furthering efforts to ensure safer drinking water for children in suburban Cook County.
LeadCare Cook County offers free lead service line replacement to suburban child care providers, targeting the reduction of lead in water at facilities serving young children. Lead exposure poses serious health risks to all individuals, and infants and children under 6 years old are especially vulnerable. Where present, lead service lines are often the largest source of lead contamination in drinking water. Throughout its duration, the program aims to replace over 460 lead service lines at child care facilities.
