In 2020, the City of Genoa began evaluating the water service lines within the city. As part of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requirements, all communities with a water supply must submit a water service line material inventory and a lead service line replacement plan. The City of Genoa submitted its inventory and replacement plan on April 15, 2024, which can be accessed through the provided links.
For any questions or if you're interested in having your lead water service line replaced, please contact the Assistant Public Works Director, Paul Naugle, at 815-784-7131. Comments and feedback regarding the Lead Water Service Line Replacement Plan can also be directed to the Public Works Department at the same phone number or by email at pnaugle [at] genoa-il.com.

On July 16th, the Genoa City Council approved a $2.7 million, 30-year interest-free loan to launch the City-Wide Lead Service Line Replacement Project—an important step toward strengthening the City’s water infrastructure. This initiative will upgrade lead water service lines throughout Genoa, ensuring greater reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance of the water distribution system.
DPI Construction has been awarded the contract, with construction expected to begin in late summer or early fall. This project highlights the City’s continued investment in delivering dependable, high-quality water service to residents and businesses.
