Where is information on the current service line replacement project?
- The City encourages homeowners to visit our website at evanstonleadreplacement.org for information regarding the following lead service line replacement (LSLR) projects currently available to homeowners in Evanston:
-
The Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Pilot Project: prioritizes private-side lead replacements for homes that have already had public-side lead service lines replaced as part of a previous water main replacement project. There is no cost to homes that have an existing lead service line and are eligible to participate.
-
Annual Water Main Project: As part of the Annual Water Main Project LSLR, the City of Evanston is offering a full lead service line replacement at no cost to the homeowner if there is an existing lead service line and if a homeowner lives in a building directly impacted by the annual water main replacement.
-
Homeowner Initiated LSLR: The property owner may replace the lead service line that goes from their home to the valve in the parkway (parkway valve). Once this work is completed, the City will replace the portion of the service from the parkway to the water main (public side) if the service is galvanized, at no cost to the property owner.
