Good evening and welcome to the work session for the Village of Pleasantville Board of Trustees.

Today is Monday December 22, our last meeting in the year 2025.

First item up on our agenda is an update on the village's lead service line inventory process.

Taken away.

Okay,

mayor and for good evening.

Tonight we have with us two consultants.

First is Woodham Curran and the Prime Consultant overseeing the lead service line inventory, really leading the charge, a secondary stem.

So their presentation would be first to kind of give a high level overview of what's the what, the when, where we're at, where we're going, uh to back them up.

Their subconsultant electro scan will be performing the in-house sword fishing water service line inspections.

Again, they give a preface of what the uh what sort fishing is, the what or why, the how, and a lot of those questions will be addressed during the slides.

Please feel free to suggest any questions you may have.

Uh but we'll also provide a timeline when this is going to start happening.

Uh, any questions too if we get to the village, we'll be prepared to answer.

But would it and current will roll out first with their presentation and then electro scan will follow.

Okay, great.

So I think need no introduction, but I don't want to steal that there in the right.

Might as well.

Good evening, nice to be with you all.

Uh, I'm Steve Robbins, technical manager with Word and Curren.

Uh joining me from whereder and current is uh senior principal Anthony Catalano and Mike Arp from uh ElectroScan.

So pleasure to be with you.

This is um we're at uh at the you know first quarter of this journey um with the village.

Um working with the water department and DPW on this process for a couple of years now.

We're gonna have a few more years to go, um, but I want it's a good point that at which to bring back up to speed as to what we're doing, what the next steps are, what the federal requirements uh are for this work, uh, and how we're approaching this for the village of Pleasantville specifically.

Um we go to the next slide.

As a brief overview, um the EPA has has set a goal of uh removing lead from drinking water services by replacing lead service lines.

Lead was used historically either to make the transition from the water main in the street to the type that ran through a property to serve a building, um, either at that initial point, called a gooseneck, or all the way uh to the house or or business in some cases.

Um it was used because it was a very flexible material before we were using copper or plastic.

Um over time we learned the health effects of that lead, and the EPA has now required us to remove uh all lead services over the course of several years.

So the process started with an initial inventory.

Uh, we assisted the water department and DPW with a review and an inventory of all of their records.

Uh I and my staff spent several days uh with Anthony's um welcome in into their offices, going through file cabinets, sorting through, talking to the operators, uh, and as best as we could cataloging all of the information uh that the village had, either in uh files, in plans, uh, to determine what was known about the water services in the village.

That initial inventory was submitted to the health department last October, 2024.

Um, and that lists things as either lead, galvanized requiring replacement in some cases, non-led or unknown are the major categories

that

we are aiming for a final inventory submittal in October of 2027 to have no unknowns in that inventory.

Um looking forward beyond that.

Uh the village will be required to submit a plan to replace all of the lead and galvanized requiring replacement by uh 2037.

So

we've got a long, a long tail on this, but we're defining the problem right now up front.

That public inventory is available at the water department, available for public viewing.

Um, and the village is required to submit regular updates to the health department to demonstrate how they're complying with the the various parts of the cell.

Go to the next slide.

As of uh 2025, we've continued to refine uh this over time.

So from the initial inventory last fall to now.

Um the key number for us is the bottom right-hand corner.

And that's the number of service lines that have some element of unknown.

Either the village owned portion from our water main to curb stop, usually at the property line, or the privately owned side from that curb stop to the house, or both.

Of the known materials, they we've identified 30 lead, I'm sorry, 39 services with lead on one side or the other, and 50 uh galvanized or galvanized required.

And 1700 non-led.

So

it's

a small fraction of our lead, got a big chunk of unknowns, and that's what we're focused on right now to bridge the gap from that initial inventory where we went through all the information that was available in the records to actually being able to define the rest of the evidence.

Next slide is not intended for to be read off the slide, but really as an update to you all.

We've achieved that that first bullet of initial inventory.

Some of our staff have done some interior plumbing inspections where they could be scheduled and where they made sense to remove private side only unknowns where we knew it was on the village side, we didn't know it was on the customer side.

Um so we ticked off about 55 uh customers that

way.

Um some customers did submit photos and documentation of their interior plumbing.
