Services
In the District, like in most older cities, homes built before the 1980’s were typically built with a lead service line—the pipe that connects the city water supply to your household plumbing.
DOEE wants to ensure that District of Columbia residents are informed about issues concerning the lead safety of its drinking water.
NOTICE: As of October 1, 2026, the Lead Reduction Program will accept applications for FY27; however, clients will be placed on a waiting list until funding becomes available.
Anyone engaged in eliminating lead-based paint hazards must abide by a set of work practices described in the new law and must at minimum be trained in lead-safe work practices.
Accreditation, certification and permitting protects humans and the environment.
Our city continues to work steadily toward a more sustainable DC and is leading other cities in the area of urban sustainability.
