Leveraging Existing Funding Sources

Lead Service Line Replacement Collaborative
​Webinar Series: Collaborating to Replace Lead Service Lines

Webinar Summary
​A key challenge for accelerating LSL replacement is securing funding. A common approach is to leverage rates paid by customers to fund community programs, but there are limits in some states to using these funds to replace LSLs on private property. States are helping by providing grants and loans to begin work and to further leverage the funds. And the federal government is providing access to additional funds.

This webinar – the second in a series of 5 webinars hosted by the LSL Replacement Collaborative – will provide:

• Overview of funding strategies and recent activity;
• Results of a new Harvard Law School Clinic study of policies in 12 states with the most LSLs for using revenues from water rates for replacement of lead service lines on private property; and
• A case study on the use of grants from Green Bay Wisconsin, in the context of recent Wisconsin legislation.
