HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 12, 2026) – The effort to replace existing lead-lined water lines by the Holland Board of Public Works may be getting a boost.
During Monday afternoon’s meeting, the municipal utility’s Board is expected to approve retaining Abonmarche Consultants for engineering services to help take out nearly 1,400 private-side galvanized service lines previously connected to lead. The over $263,000 contract is within a proposed $300,000 Water Distribution capital budget amendment to the current Fiscal 2027 spending plan, and the money comes from a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund grant the BPW received this past July.
Utility General Manager Dave Koster said, in a memo attached to the agenda/supporting documents for this 4 PM meeting, “Once funding is secured, the total project cost will be included for approval in the FY 2028 Water Distribution capital budget.”
