The money was made available through the "two year, $26 million” Safety Drinking Water Loan, according to a press release from Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt (R-Fond du Lac). In addition to the $300,000 awarded last year, the money granted will be available through the city of Fond du Lac to remove lead pipe laterals on homeowner’s property, as taken on in coordination with annual street reconstruction in the city. Replacements can also be done in places “where publicly-owned lead services laterals have already been replaced.”
