TEANECK, NJ — Some residents may receive notices about in-home lead inspections as part of a program involving water utility company Veolia.
In a notice posted Thursday, Teaneck Township shared that Veolia is partnering with MeterTek Utility Services Inc. to inspect homes in selected New Jersey municipalities.
The inspections aim to identify lead or lead-containing plumbing materials, including accessible water service lines and related components.
MeterTek representatives may need to enter homes to visually inspect plumbing materials. They will carry identification, and selected residents will receive advance notice with scheduling instructions.
No immediate action is required. Residents who have not been contacted do not need to schedule an inspection.
The program is intended to help Veolia document water service line materials and identify potential lead sources.
Residents can check their property's materials using the township's interactive service line map or call MeterTek at 800-717-0974.
