Sheboygan Water Utility Lead Service Line Replacement Program

How it works

The Sheboygan Water Utility says it developed a program to help customers replace their lead or galvanized water service lines. The program offers partial grants and no-interest loans. Grants depend on the availability of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources funding, and the utility says it will provide updates if grants are temporarily unavailable.

What the money covers

The page says the grants and loans are for the replacement of private lead or galvanized water service lines. The utility also says city ordinance requires lead and galvanized service lines to be replaced in full; they cannot be repaired or modified.

Amounts and matching

Grant amounts may range from 0% to 100% based on census tract data determined by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Customers may apply for a no-interest loan to cover costs not paid by a grant. The loan may be repaid over 36 or 72 months. Loans must be paid in full when the property changes ownership.

How to apply

The utility page directs customers to contact the utility for more information. It does not list a separate application form in the text I could access.

Timing and deadlines

The page says grants are subject to available funding and loan availability is also subject to available funding.
