Homeowner Initiated LSLR

The Homeowner Initiated LSLR is the City’s Lead Abatement Program—a seasonal initiative that runs annually from April 15 through November 1.

 

To participate, homeowners must request to be added to the City’s lead abatement list by calling 847-448-8220. The list is maintained on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

As part of the program, the City coordinates with your private plumber to replace both the public and private portions of the lead service line at the same time. The City will install a new water service line from the water main to the b-box (shutoff valve) in the parkway. Your plumber will then have two days to complete the private-side installation, which runs from the b-box to your house.

 

During the replacement process, your home will continue to be served by the existing water line. City staff and your plumber will work to minimize any water service interruptions. Once the new line is installed, the City will disconnect the old line and complete restoration of the street and parkway.
