Illinois EPA Provides Over $3 Million in Funding to the City of Freeport to Replace Lead Service Lines
Description
Illinois EPA Director John J. Kim today announced $3,075,750 in funding to the City of Freeport (Stephenson County) to replace lead service lines throughout the community. The funding is provided through the Illinois EPA’s State Revolving Fund (SRF), which provides low-interest loan funding for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater projects. The funding is in the form of principal forgiveness, so the City of Freeport (City) will not have to repay any of the $3,075,750 awarded.
