Malden is partway through a seven-year program to remove every lead service line in its water system. The pipe from the water main to the house is legally the property owner's, not the city's, which is why Malden has to collect a signed consent form before crews can replace it — and why a lead segment left on the private side still counts against the city's inventory. Malden's Engineering Department will inspect your service material at the meter and test your water at no charge. Recent city water main contracts bundle private-side lead service replacement into the same excavation.

Malden has planned a seven-year Lead Service Line Replacement Program to remove all lead service lines in the water system. The customer owns the service line from the connection at the city main all the way into the property, so the City requires a signed consent form before replacing it.
A homeowner calling about water quality or a service leak needs to know the pipe under their front yard is their asset and their decision — and that a partial replacement leaves lead in the ground.
Malden's water system exceeded the lead action level of 0.015 mg/L (15 ppb), meaning more than 10 percent of lead samples collected came back above the action level.
This is the specific regulatory trigger behind the replacement push, and it is why fixture-side and service-side lead questions come up in Malden more than in towns that stayed under the limit.
Malden committed to replacing at least 150 lead water services per year, and was cited by MassDEP for Lead and Copper Rule monitoring and reporting violations covering 2018-2022, including failure to update the materials evaluation of its distribution system maps and databases.
City records on what material serves a given address have known gaps, so the map is a starting point, not proof — a physical check at the meter is the only reliable answer.
A lead service line replacement typically takes four to eight hours with the water shut off for that period; crews need access inside and out from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., someone 18 or older must be present, and drywall or flooring may be removed to reach the work area.
Sets a realistic expectation for the disruption of a service line job and explains why interior restoration is part of the conversation.
