WHEREAS, pursuant to the Environmental Protection Agency and 415 ILCS 5/17.12, there is no safe level of lead and because lead containing service lines will convey this harmful substance to the drinking water supply, full water service line replacement is necessary and effective in reliably achieving long-term reductions in drinking water lead levels; and
