Private Lead Replacement Incentive Program Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) is offering Boston property owners free inspections of their water service pipe. Some older properties built before 1978 may have lead pipes. Lead is known to cause serious health risks. BWSC has accelerated the incentive program by identifying and eliminating lead service lines, both in the public and on private property. In 2022, BWSC removed over 300 lead services. For more information on the lead program visit www.bwsc.org. BWSC encourages Boston property owners to contact our offices for a free inspection of the property's water service pipe. If the pipe is lead, receive a no obligation estimate of the cost for replacement. Eligible property owners may qualify for a credit of up to $4,000 towards the cost of replacement by taking advantage of this voluntary program. $ Boston Water and Sewer Commission Lead Hotline: 617 989 7888 Private Lead Replacement Incentive Program Boston Water and Sewer Commission ( BWSC ) is offering Boston property owners free inspections of their water service pipe .
