The Eagles ment and City Engineer Yem Lip that a 10-year plan to replace all lead lines in Malden carried a price tag of $35 million. At that time, it was also estimated there were about 2,500 known lead water lines among the 12,000 in the city. In a report delivered at a recent Council meeting, it was continued their strong play in the second quarter, outscoring stated that Malden has a legitimate chance to attain that goal by 2032. Within the past year alone, Malden has replaced 301 lead lines – a new yearly high. One of the key reasons Malden has been able to attack and address this pressing issue is through the continued assistance of U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark at the federal level. In 2022, through the efforts of Rep. Clark and U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), a Malden resident, the city of Malden received a giant boost toward lead pipe replacement in the form of a $3.36 million grant. Another $1.4 million in federal funding courtesy of the Infrastructure Law for Clean Water was announced coming to Malden in May of this year, again through Rep. Clark’s efforts. Additional funding and a robust no-interest lending program for local homeowners has come through the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) to this city, supported by our state legislative delNashoba Tech to take a commanding 36-14 lead at halftime. In the third quarter, the Eagles turned up the heat on defense, leading to several fastbreak points in transition. Mystic Valley further extended their lead, dominating the third stanza. With a big lead in the fourth quarter, some of the first-year varsity players had the opportunity to see playing time and gain valuable experience. The Eagles cruised to a 70-39 victory, with sophomore Elbadaoui sealing the win with a late breakaway. Next, the Eagles will travel to Pioneer Everett to face the Panthers on Friday, December 27, at 1:30 PM. egation of state Reps. Steve Ultrino (D-Malden), Paul Donato (D-Malden, Medford) and Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Malden, Melrose) and state Sen. Jason Lewis (D-5th District). Eight years ago, MassDEP ruled that Malden had the most lead water service lines in the Commonwealth, about 47% of all lines in the community. With over 1,000 lines replaced since that unwieldy number was revealed, progress can most definitely be acknowledged. As it stands today, the lead line “most in the state” label no longer applies to Malden. Though the “finish line” may still be far off in the distance at this time, 2032 is really not that far away, as the sage of the City Council, 32-year Ward 2 icon Paul Condon pointed out. Transparency, action and progress – they have all played a role in Malden addressing one of its most pressing issues of the new millennium. Let’s keep the progress moving forward.
