(WTAQ-WLUK) — Two communities in Northeast Wisconsin will receive federal funding toward lead service line replacement projects.
More than $102 million from the Biden administration’s Safe Drinking Water Loan Program was allocated to 12 municipalities to remove an estimated 15,028 private lead water service lines.
According to the funding list, Oshkosh will receive more than $6.8 million and Neenah will receive more than $1.9 million.
Other municipalities in Northeast Wisconsin, including Appleton, Two Rivers, Kimberly, Waupaca and Fond du Lac, applied for funding but ultimately were not chosen.
