Having Trouble Opening These Forms?: If you click on one of these links and get a message that starts with " Please wait...", then your web browser is probably using a built-in PDF viewer, rather than using Acrobat Reader. In that case, upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat Reader will not fix the problem. Instead, do this:

  1. Right-click on the link and select " Save link as..." to download the form to your local drive.
  2. Use Acrobat Reader to open the downloaded file from your local drive

For many communities, affordability is the biggest hurdle to overcome.  To assist communities in meeting the inventory requirements outlined in the LSLRNA, the IEPA is making $10 million available through the 15% Local Assistance and Other State Program Set-Aside, where no more than 10% of the grant funds may be used on a single program activity. This Set-Aside will be taken from the 2022 BIL- Lead grant to fund this round (Round 3) of the Lead Service Line Inventory 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 were accepted until 1:00PM (CST) October 10, 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.


**PLEASE NOTE - THIS GRANT PROGRAM IS FOR LEAD SERVICE LINE INVENTORYING PURPOSES ONLY, LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT COSTS ARE INELIGIBLE AND NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS GRANT PROGRAM.**
