Recognizing Shenard Foster and Loyola High School

Shenard Foster of the Loyola High wrestling team was honored by District 2 Detroit City Council on March 18. When Foster transferred to Loyola High, they did not have a wrestling team. School officials quickly organized a team and this season Foster went undefeated. Foster won the state championship in 160-pound Division 4 during the MHSAA Individual Wrestling Finals at Ford Field in Detroit. The wrestling team now has five members, and Foster’s hard work continues to be an inspiration to his teammates and community. Shenard Foster became the first wrestler from Detroit Loyola to win an individual wrestling state championship and he was named the Metro Detroit Athlete of the Week.

Lead Service Line Replacement Program

The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) estimates there are more than 80,000 lead service lines delivering water to homes in Detroit. In the city of Detroit, lead service lines are most likely to be found in single family homes built before 1945.

The water leaving the treatment plants that serve the city of Detroit does not contain lead, but lead can be released into drinking water from corrosion in lead service lines and household plumbing that contains lead. The water provided to DWSD customers contains a corrosion inhibitor to reduce corrosion of lead and other pipe materials into drinking water. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health and developmental problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Since 2018, DWSD has been working to verify lead service lines and replace them as part of the Asset Management Program.
