Benton Harbor residents are being reminded the distribution site for bottled water in the community is being moved to the Boys and Girls Club Fettig Youth Campus starting next week. The water is currently distributed at Benton Harbor High School. It will switch to the youth campus on Nate Wells Drive next Tuesday. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services says water will continue to be provided seven days a week by the state as lead service line replacements continue around the city. As of Monday, contractors reported 48.7% of the city’s lead service lines had been replaced or verified lead-free, leaving about 2,300 lines to go. More than 700 were replaced or verified in the last 30 days, an average of more than 23 per day.
