Residential Lead Water Service Line Replacement

The City of Platteville is pleased to be able to offer a loan of up to $1,520 toward the cost of the replacement of lead water service lines on private residential properties. This amount is estimated to cover 75% of the average cost for replacement (costs associated with individual properties will vary). This loan is required to be repaid.  If the lead water service line is replaced in accordance with DNR rules, 75% (up to $1,140) will be forgiven (converted to a grant) and the remaining 25% (up to $380) will remain as a loan to be repaid.  You may pay off the loan with no penalties, fees or interest no later than November 1, 2025. The work must be completed by November 30, 2024, for this year’s applicants. The funds available will cover the costs of an estimated 110 properties. The new ordinance passed into law recently states that ALL LEAD SERVICE LINES MUST BE REPLACED BY December 31, 2024. This funding is NOT GUARANTEED EACH YEAR. If your Residential Property is known to have a lead water service line, you should have recently received a letter in the mail regarding the Lead Water Service Line Replacement Program.
