Elk Grove Village's program at a glance
Who supplies the water
The Village of Elk Grove Village operates its own community water supply (Illinois EPA facility IL0314400, ~31,800 population served, source type "surface water purchased"). Water is Lake Michigan water treated by the City of Chicago Water Department, delivered via the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency (NSMJAWA) reservoirs near O'Hare, then pumped to the Village's distribution system. Emergency interconnections with Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Bensenville, and Roselle (per Illinois EPA Drinking Water Watch).
What the homeowner pays
not published (no lead service lines reported, so no replacement cost framework exists)
How to check your line
not published — no public service-line inventory map/portal was found on elkgrove.org. The Village publishes annual Water Quality Reports and a "2023 Lead and Copper Report" on its Water Quality Reports page; the Public Works Department (450 E. Devon Ave., 847-734-8800) is the listed water-utility contact.
How to get into the program
not published — no application process exists because the Village states it has no lead service lines to replace
Worth knowing
Key official finding: Elk Grove Village publicly states it has zero lead service lines, so there is no replacement program, cost-sharing policy, or waitlist. The Village statement appeared in an official elkgrove.org news release about the Chicago Department of Water Management's corrosion-control transition (moving to a 30% polyphosphate/70% orthophosphate blend in Dec 2024, reaching 100% orthophosphate by summer 2025), reassuring residents the change has no local impact. Like all Illinois community water supplies, the Village is subject to the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act (complete material inventory due to IEPA by April 15, 2024); its inventory filings go to IEPA ([email protected], 217-785-0561) but IEPA's public page does not display Elk Grove Village's inventory rows. Research caveat: elkgrove.org blocks automated fetching (Akamai 403), so the Village statements above were captured verbatim via search-engine snippets of the official pages rather than a full page render; the Illinois EPA Drinking Water Watch record and IEPA lead-service-line page were fetched and read in full.

The Illinois picture
Illinois' Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act requires every community water supply to inventory its service lines and replace lead ones on a state-mandated schedule. Two practical consequences for homeowners: your municipality can tell you what your line is made of, and full replacement — not partial — is the standard when work happens. Many suburbs coordinate replacements with water-main projects, which is often when the cost-sharing is most generous.
Where we come in
Remodels are where lead lines get discovered — kitchen and bath projects expose the plumbing, and permit inspections check service-line material against the municipal inventory. When that happens on a GS project in Elk Grove Village, we flag it early, point you at the program above before anyone spends your money, run the replacement through our Illinois-licensed plumbing and excavation partners, and restore everything the dig touched.
GS Construction & Remodeling is a licensed general contractor, not a municipal agency. Program details above summarize official municipal sources and change over time — confirm current terms with Elk Grove Village before making decisions based on them.

- Does GS Construction replace lead service lines?
-
Service-line replacement itself is licensed plumbing and excavation work — on GS projects it runs through our Illinois-licensed plumbing and excavation partners, and we handle what comes after: restoring the yard, landscaping edges, and any interior finishes the work touched. If a remodel uncovers a lead line, we flag it and point you at the municipal program before anyone spends your money.
- Why do lead lines come up during remodels?
-
Kitchen and bathroom remodels expose the plumbing where it enters the home, and permit inspections increasingly check service-line material against the municipal inventory Illinois law requires. Finding out mid-project is normal — knowing your village's program before demo day is better.
