65,000 Milwaukee homes are now connected to lead water lines as of 2025. We've done a good job replacing some of those lead lines. But all lead lines are required to be replaced by 2037. 2600 lead laterals were replaced in 2024. So we're slowly but surely getting there. 68% of the 262,000 housing units in Milwaukee currently have lead paint. 17,000 housing units were built prior to 1940 and are considered high risk for lead pain hazards.
