The EquiFlow Lead-Free Program is a groundbreaking initiative, formed through a partnership between the City of Wausau and Community Infrastructure Partners (CIP), to provide Wausau residents with safe, lead-free drinking water by replacing up to 8,000 lead service lines by 2028. When present, a lead service line can be the largest contributor of lead in drinking water. Unfortunately, replacing a lead service line can be very costly for homeowners!
Launched with the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, this program is designed to eliminate lead from our drinking water and enhance the quality of life for our community.

Work in Year 2 (2025) will take place in Census Tracts 1, 4, 5, 6.01, 6.02, 7, and 8.
EquiFlow Program staff will be contacting residents in these tracts via mail notifications to conduct verifications and coordinate receipt of Right-of-Entry forms. Construction for replacements is expected to begin in late spring 2025 and continue through the fall as weather allows.
