State Mandated Lead Service Line Replacement Project Underway

The City of North Chicago Public Works Department is in the process of notifying residents that the State mandated ILLINOIS EPA lead water service line replacement project has begun. 

HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROJECT:

• The lead service line infrastructure project will replace approximately 175 water service lines primarily in the southern portion of the city limits, AT NO COST TO THE HOMEOWNER!
• The target area for this project is located east of Green Bay Road, south of Argonne Road and north of Broadway Avenue.
• For the specific homes targeted to have the lead service line replaced, a Public Works staff member will stop by the home to drop off a Lead Service Line information sheet and an Access Form that explains the program in detail.
• PLEASE ALLOW US TO LEAVE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU SO THAT WE CAN SCHEDULE THE WORK TO BE COMPLETED.
• If you have received the project information sheets and have questions about this lead water service line replacement program, please contact the water department at 847-596-8634 to schedule a pre-installation visit to check the material of your water line and the location of the water meter.  
• The visit takes only a few minutes and will not require any construction equipment.
• If your home or business contains a lead service line, you will receive a replacement copper water line at no cost. 

Thank you for your time and cooperation as we work to improve the quality of our drinking water in the City of North Chicago.
