4747 An Act concerning removal of lead pipes from certain foreclosed properties and supplementing P.L.1995, c.244 (C.2A:50-53 et seq.). Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey: 1. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a financial institution that knows or has reason to know that a property on which the institution has foreclosed has lead water service lines shall remove all lead water service lines, except for any lines that are owned and the responsibility of the appropriate utility service prior to selling or otherwise conveying the property. 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all properties on which financial institutions foreclose on or after the date of enactment. STATEMENT This bill requires financial institutions that have foreclosed on a property to replace all lead water service lines on the property that are not owned and the responsibility of the appropriate utility service. Second to paint, the leading source of lead in young children is from contaminated water. Lead can be harmful to all age groups, but is particularly harmful to children and infants. This bill would prevent continuous exposure to lead from privately owned lead water service lines.
