Tenant conflict with water lateral line replacement.

Dean Thiel
Posted

The city is replacing the main water line at one of our single family rentals. We have the option of paying the full cost of replacing the lateral line from the new water main to our house for $1700 while the city is undertaking the main replacement  

    The water lines in our city have an exterior coating of lead. Because of this our tenant is upset and wants the line to the house replaced.  The lines have a protective coating  internally, it has never caused any health problems in our city that I’m aware of. If I was living in this house, I wouldn’t replace this lateral line as the health risk is so minimal, however I don’t want to open myself up to any future litigation on “phantom” health problems the tenant would claim.   Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks
