Norridge's program at a glance
Who supplies the water

The page also links "2023 Lead / Copper Sample Sites Results" and gettheleadoutil.com.

Worth knowing
Official Lead Service Lines page content is limited to explaining the Illinois LSLRNA (effective Jan 1, 2022) plus the inventory and sampling-results downloads — no published replacement schedule, cost coverage, waitlist, or water-main-project coordination. The inventory shows only 50 confirmed lead lines out of 4,844 (about 1%), with 208 unknown. The village website (villageofnorridge.com) blocks automated fetches (Akamai 403); content was verified via Feb/May 2026 Wayback Machine captures of the official pages. A 2022 resident lead service line self-report survey was referenced in a third-party press-release listing but could not be verified on the official site, so it is not reported as current.

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 Norridge, 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 Norridge before making decisions based on them.

- How do I find out if my Norridge home has a lead water line?
-
The Village publishes a downloadable "Inventory of Water Service Lines" document (linked from the Lead Service Lines page) listing each service address with PWS-side and customer-side line material and classification; it reports 4,844 total service lines: 50 lead, 4,586 non-lead, 208 unknown.

- 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.
