This one Chicago block was selected for a free lead service line replacement pilot program.
In an effort to tackle Chicago's lead water problem, one block in Little Village was selected for a free lead service line replacement pilot program."I was actually the person that would go out of town and say 'oh we have the best water in Chicago,' which I think might be true to some extent," said Gonzalez.
Carmen's daughter, Rosa Peña, also grew up in the home, and now lives in Texas. When she heard about the free pilot program, she signed her mom up right awayThey also switched to bottled water after learning their tap water tested positive for lead. "My mother is elderly, she receives a small check from social security," said Peña. "We help her the best that we can so she's not in need but that's an expense that we really couldn't pay."
