The EquiFlow Lead-Free Program is an innovative partnership between the City of Wausau and Community Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to ensure Wausau residents have access to safe, lead-free drinking water by replacing up to 8,000 lead service lines by 2028.
Using the CBP3 delivery model established by the EPA, the EquiFlow Lead-Free program is focused on replacing lead services lines quickly and effectively while creating socioeconomic and community benefits, including maximizing local, small, and minority-business utilization.
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!

Work in Year 1 (2024) will take place in Census Tracts 6.01,6.02,5,7,8 within the City.
Beginning in Fall 2024, EquiFlow Program staff will begin contacting property owners with known lead water service lines to begin coordinating their replacement for the 2025 construction season.
