A 285 thousand dollar grant will let Menasha Utilities complete all lead service line replacements this year. Water Utility Manager Adam Smith says about 140 lines still need to be replaced. Roughly 600 have already been completed.
According to Smith, the grant money will allow the City to for pay two-thirds of the project and the homeowner one-third. He says that leaves the average homeowner with a bill of about 833 dollars. But he says the Utility is offering homeowners an interest free five year loan.
