**City of Akron on Track to Remove All Lead Service Lines by 2025**
The City of Akron, Ohio, has announced that it is on schedule to remove all lead service lines throughout the city by the end of 2025. According to the City of Akron's Mayor's Office, Akron will join Newark, New Jersey, as one of the only major cities in the United States to complete such a project.
Lead service lines, which can pose serious health risks by contaminating drinking water, have been a focus of infrastructure improvements in Akron. This initiative signifies the city's commitment to ensuring safer and healthier water for its residents.
