# EPA Releases Lead Pipe Funding

EPA released state allotments for Federal Fiscal Year 2025 through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund’s Lead Service Line Replacement program, the fourth of five funding rounds supported by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The program totals $15 billion, and reallocation of unspent prior-year funds adds potential funding for lead-service-line identification and replacement. The signal does not specify state amounts, solicitations, or procurement contacts, so opportunities will depend on state-level implementation and purchasing activity.

- State allotments create potential demand for lead-service-line inventories, replacement work, and related water infrastructure services.
- Contractors and suppliers can use the state funding framework to identify where their capabilities may fit, while seeking state-specific allotment and procurement information before pursuing work.
- Because this is the fourth of five funding rounds and includes reallocated prior-year funds, organizations should distinguish new allotments from funding carried forward when evaluating prospective work.
