Mayor: Kewanee awarded roughly $1 million for lead service line replacement
Summary
Mayor Moore announced the city has been awarded roughly $1 million in grant funds toward replacing lead water service lines, and cautioned the amount is only a fraction of the full need for the program.
Mayor Moore told the council on Aug. 25 that the city received about $1 million in grant funding to assist with replacement of lead service lines. The mayor said while the award is significant, it will cover only part of the total cost of replacing all affected lines in the community.
Council did not take formal action on the lead-service program at this meeting; the announcement was made as part of mayoral communications. The mayor advised the public that the grant will help the effort but that additional funding will be required to complete replacement citywide.
