For many communities, affordability is the biggest hurdle to overcome. To assist communities in meeting the inventory requirements outlined in the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act (LSLRNA), the Illinois EPA is making $5 Million available through the Illinois EPA Public Water Supply Loan Program Loan Support funds for the Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) Grant Program for the creation of a Complete Lead Service Line Inventory meeting the inventory requirements outlined in 415 ILCS 5/17.12.
Applicants must be Local Government Units that have pre-qualified through the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) Grantee Portal. Applications for the LSLI Grant Program will be accepted until 1:00PM (CST) April 25, 2023. All completed LSLI Grant Program applications shall undergo a comprehensive review and be scored to determine priority. Grant awards will be issued in the range of $20,000 - $50,000 per applicant. The LSLI Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) details how qualified applicants can receive LSLI funds to help finance the completion of a Complete Lead Service Line Inventory. The official LSLI NOFO and all of the other materials needed for the grant application process can be found in the LSLI Grant Application Related Materials section below.
