Charleston Water System is asking for public input on a plan to replace 941 lead service lines. The piece matters to other drinking-water utilities with lead line inventories and replacement obligations because it points to how one system is handling planning and public process for a required replacement program.

Indiana American Water is planning a major PFAS treatment buildout for its drinking-water system.

A PFAS finding in a well has triggered a drinking water advisory in Hamilton. For other systems, the story points to routine contamination-response operations and the need to check well sources, sampling, and public notice procedures when PFAS is detected.
Lafayette is starting a second phase of lead service line replacement, which puts this squarely in drinking-water compliance and capital work. For other utilities facing lead rules or replacement deadlines, it signals continued pipe-by-pipe inventory and replacement work and the need to coordinate homeowner access or participation; the excerpt does not say how many lines are involved, what the schedule is, or how the work is funded.
Sacramento’s lawsuit over PFAS in groundwater points to drinking-water compliance and the costs of dealing with contaminated source water.
