As the City of Lincoln pursues our goal to become the safest and healthiest capital city in America, we focus on creating healthier living environments for families. That’s why we launched the Lead Safe Lincoln initiative, designed to prevent and reduce the risk of lead exposure for our community’s children and families. Through Lead Safe Lincoln, City teams are conducting lead testing in children, assessing lead exposure risk, removing lead from homes, and replacing lead water service lines.
