New Jersey’s capital city is launching a major effort to get the lead out. City officials gathered in West Trenton last week to kick off the major project — even though they have yet to secure all of the funding to make it happen. Trenton Water Works plans to spend $150 million over the next five years to replace more than 36,000 lead service lines in the water system. The replacement program is part of the utility’s $405 million capital plan that includes upgrades, a water treatment plant, and the construction of new water storage tanks to replace the Pennington Reservoir.
