Kearney continues five‑year lead service‑line replacement program with $800,000 planned for FY26
Summary
Staff said the lead service–line replacement program totals about $4.4 million; the city expects to spend roughly $800,000 in FY26 and has a 0% SRF loan ($1.1M) plus a $2.9M grant to cover most costs.
Kayla James told council the lead service‑line replacement program is a five‑year effort with a total estimated cost of $4.4 million. "We expect to spend roughly $800,000 on that project next year," she said, and noted financing includes a 0% drinking‑water SRF loan of about $1.1 million and a $2.9 million grant, which reduces the city’s net cost.
A council member commented that the project is in year two of five and that the city is making good progress. James characterized the financing as "a pretty good deal for us" because of the low‑interest loan and grant support.
