Department Of Water Management Announces Funding For Lead Pipe Replacement
The City of Chicago has announced a new loan from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the replacement of lead pipes across the city. The loan is a continuation of an ongoing effort to replace a majority of the city’s pipes built before 1986, which have a high likelihood of being lead within smaller buildings. The work will be led by the Department of Water Management with the loan being finalized this past Friday.
