Chicago’s efforts to remove lead service lines get a boost
The EPA granted Chicago a $336 million loan to remove lead service lines.
A $336 million loan will be used over five years to primarily fund the city’s program that replaces lead service lines when they break or leak. The Department of Water Management’s other programs to replace lead service lines at daycares and for low-income homeowners will continue.
Reset learns about the scope of this effort and how this could help improve Chicagoans’ water.
