IL SB3518

Illinois EPA can grant an initial extension of the lead service line replacement timeline for up to 30% (increased from 20%) of the original timeline for community water supplies.

The extension change applies to circumstances where water supplies face challenges meeting their lead service line replacement deadlines and must apply to the EPA for relief.

This modification allows more flexibility for municipalities and water utilities struggling to complete lead pipe replacements within the original mandated timeframes under Illinois' lead service line replacement program.
