Route-level evidence behind the local support paths.
Minneapolis says its lead service line map is updated daily, customers can search an address, and the map uses lead non-lead and unknown symbols.
Minneapolis tells customers that unknown means there is a valid address but the matching water service line record is not available and encourages further research requests when the map shows unknown.
Minneapolis says the city is replacing lead water service lines across the city, that state and federal funds are paying for the work at no cost to property owners, and that the project follows the 2033 state goal and 2037 federal requirement.
