Elgin reallocates $665,980 within 2024 lead service-line replacement program to install additional lines

Mar 13, 2025

Council approved a transfer of $665,980 saved in Contract B into Contract C of the 2024 lead service-line replacement program and enacted corresponding change orders, allowing additional replacements to proceed in early 2025.

The full story

City staff told the Elgin City Council that the 2024 lead service-line replacement program produced savings in Contract B because some projects came in under budget and some property owners did not submit required paperwork to complete replacements. At the March 12 meeting, staff proposed and the council approved change orders that move $665,980 from Contract B into Contract C so additional service-line replacements can be installed by the contractor in the first quarter of 2025.
