Funding may be available for your system if it is non-profit or government entity For the upcoming EPA mandated Lead Service Line Inventory that is due on October 16, 2024.

All community and non-transient noncommunity public water systems, regardless of the size of the system, are required to complete the EPA mandated Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) by October 16, 2024, under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (40 CFR 141.84). For the Inventory spreadsheet that must be completed and submitted to FDEP, click here.

The water system is required to have documented evidence to prove whether or not every service line on both the utility side and the customer's side of the meter potentially contains lead.

FRWA has been providing funding for completing the inventory on a first come, first served basis.  There is still a very limited amount of funding.  If your system has less than 3,300 population, more than 15 connections, and is a non-profit or governmental entity you can be eligible for the funding.  You will need to register immediately and submit all required documents while the funds are still available.  Unfortunately, the funding has now been committed to the point that we are not able to provide funding for water systems that have more than 3,300 population.

If your system does not meet these criteria, you can apply for Lead Service Line Inventory SRF funding through DEP.  The DEP SRF funding provides 49% principal forgiveness (grant) and 51% low interest loan for governmental entities or non-profits.
