FLINT, MI -- The city says it will continue to accept consent forms that allow contractors to excavate their water service lines but says time is running out to request the free work to be done.
“I urge all residents: Please immediately consent to having your service lines checked and replaced,” Mayor Sheldon Neeley said in a statement issued by the city Friday, Sept. 18. “We still have crews in the field replacing pipes, so we can still accept consent forms -- but this needs to be done now. This is urgent.”
Last month, the city said it was making a final push to dig up the service lines at up to 2,500 homes from which no one had given permission for the work to be done.
In a news release Friday, the city said it’s uncertain how many more days it will be able to continue accepting consent forms. Friday, Sept. 18, was the official deadline to file required paperwork, according to an agreement between the city and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
In that agreement, Flint officials committed to complete all service line work, including property restoration by Nov. 30.
To opt-in to the replacement program, residents can visit City Hall, call 810-410-1133, email GetTheLeadOut@cityofflint.com, make a request online at CityofFlint.com/GetTheLeadOut, or mail to Flint City Hall DPW Service line replacement program 1101 S. Saginaw St. Flint, MI 48502.
Residents who submitted a consent form prior to March 15, 2019, and who have not had their service line checked yet, must also submit another consent form.
