JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Greater Johnstown Water Authority is gearing up for a $21 million effort to remove lead pipes from its water system, officials announced.

In the coming weeks, letters will be sent to residents, notifying them of the status of their private lines and public connections, according to WTAJ media partners at the Tribune-Democrat .
