2025 Prioritized LSLR Project

The Prioritized Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Project focuses on replacing lead service lines in areas eligible for funding through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (IEPA) State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program. There is no cost to homes that have an existing lead service line and are eligible to participate.

Homeowner Initiated LSLR

Under the Homeowner Initiated LSLR, homeowners may replace the private side portion of their lead service line (from the house to the shutoff valve in the parkway). The City coordinates with your private plumber to replace both the private and public side portions at the same time. A new service line from the water main to the b-box is installed by the City at no cost to the homeowner.

2025 Annual Water Main Project LSLR

As part of the 2024 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 that is directly impacted by the annual water main replacement.
