River Forest reports 488 survey responses, estimates $20–25M for lead‑service replacement
Summary
Staff reported 488 homeowner survey responses toward the required lead‑service inventory, reminded the board that a final inventory is due by 2027, and said village estimates for full replacement are roughly $20 million to $25 million with a 50/50 homeowner cost‑share program up to $7,500.
Village staff told trustees the lead-service-line inventory survey has collected 488 responses so far and urged additional household participation to meet the final inventory requirement. The village must complete a full inventory of service lines by 2027, staff said, and encouraged residents to submit photos and information to speed the process.
Trustees discussed funding: staff said the projected cost to replace all lead service lines is "20 million maybe more 25 million" and described a 50/50 replacement program that offers up to $7,500 toward homeowners' private‑side replacement costs. Trustees asked staff to continue outreach and to present funding options and grant opportunities as the village prepares a final inventory and replacement schedule.
