Arlington Heights may get financial help from the federal government to help the village meet mandates on replacing all lead water service lines, after U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley asked Congress for the funding.
According to a news release from Quigley’s congressional office, the $31.5 million that the congressman requested in total for 5th District projects includes $2 million to help Arlington Heights comply with Illinois law, which requires replacement of all lead water service lines within the village. According to the village manager, the state Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act, which went into effect in 2022, mandated that a complete material inventory of service lines in the community water supply be submitted to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in 2024.
The project will help shoulder the burden of the cost and enable the village to effectively remove the risk of lead exposure from lead water service lines, the release states.
