Lead-line loan relief for private water systems
Wisconsin’s Safe Drinking Water Loan Program can use federal grants and other eligible federal funds to forgive loan principal—the amount borrowed. For private owners of community water systems, this relief applies only to loans for replacing lead service lines. The existing ban on forgiveness for these owners’ other loans remains unchanged. The law sets no funding amount.
