On a recent episode of The AquaDiary Podcast host Ally Berry goes inside the Rochester Water Bureau to examine how the city tests drinking water for lead and plans to replace thousands of lead service lines by 2030. The episode includes a tour of the bureau’s certified in-house laboratory and interviews with Water Bureau leaders about testing, corrosion control and the development of Rochester’s replacement program. It also explores how the Flint water crisis influenced the city’s approach and what challenges remain as officials work to complete the project years ahead of the federal deadline. The episode is the first installment in a series examining where Rochester’s water comes from and how the system is managed.
