The City of Lexington is holding several public information sessions to brief homeowners on proposed stormwater fees and another rate increase. Residents will be able to ask city officials questions and request an estimate on the fees. If approved by Lexington City Council, the fee and rate hike would be the third increase to local water bills this year.

Lexington’s Public Works Department, in response to updated EPA rules, is surveying residents to figure out how many homes have lead pipes. Lexington’s water complies with EPA standards on lead, but the latest annual report indicated a slight increase in lead levels in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting the erosion of household pipes and lead in the environment.
