At Aurora Water, nothing is more important than ensuring the health of our community by providing clean, safe and reliable water. To achieve this, we're offering the Lead Service Line Replacement Program at no cost to you.

Do you live in an older home? If your home was built in 1960 or earlier in Original Aurora, it might have a water pipe made of lead or galvanized steel, materials that can potentially release lead into the water.

What we're doing: Aurora Water and our contractors are checking these old pipes for free. If we find a lead or galvanized steel pipe, we will replace it with a safe copper service line for free. Normally, this costs approximately $10,000.

Here's how it works:

• Within a month before work is planned, we will let you know by mail we're coming. Construction updates will also be available on this site.
• 72-hours before the inspection, we will leave a doorhanger.
• During the service line inspection, we'll create a couple of small, 6" holes to view the pipe.
• The holes will be covered and the landscape will be restored, as close as possible, to its pre-construction state.
• If we find a lead or galvanized steel pipe, the property will be added to our replacement schedule. Replacements will begin in 2025 and by state and federal regulations must be completed by 2037.

Your part: If you're the property owner, all you need to do is sign the Acknowledgement and Agreement Form saying you're okay with us replacing lead or galvanized steel pipes if found during the inspection. The form links are on the top right of this page under Important Links.

If your home has a lead or galvanized steel water service line and you do not want to participate in the program, the property owner must replace the lead or galvanized steel water service line with a copper one at their own expense. Aurora Water does not reimburse owners when they have a service line replaced. All work must be done by Aurora Water or one of our contractors.

Stay tuned: We're planning when and where we will be replacing the lead and galvanized steel pipes found during inspections. Check back for updates on this site.
