Thank you to those participating in the no-cost Lead Service Line Replacement Program. Your commitment is helping to make DeKalb a lead-free community, and your support goes a long way in protecting public health.
Replacement Work Begins July 22
Work will begin Tuesday, July 22, in the areas of North 12th Street and North 11th Street. To keep the process moving smoothly, we kindly ask residents to schedule an in-home assessment with either the City or our contractor, Five Star Energy, as soon as possible.
Consent Forms Still Needed
We are still missing signed consent forms from several properties. If you have not yet completed your form, please do so promptly so your home can be included in upcoming rounds of replacements.
Download the Consent Form and Ordinance here.
Return the completed form by one of the following methods:
- Mail: 1216 Market Street, DeKalb, IL 60115
- Drop off: In person at the address above
- Email: Take a photo of the signed form and send it to justin.netzer@cityofdekalb.com
Schedule Your In-Home Assessment
An in-home assessment is required before any replacement work can be performed. Five Star Energy has already begun reaching out to residents by leaving door tags and making phone calls.
To schedule your appointment, contact:
- Oswaldo at Five Star Energy – (262) 403-6690, or
- City of DeKalb Water Division – (815) 748-2050
Scheduling your assessment soon will help ensure your service line is replaced before the program deadline in November 2025.
Upcoming Work Areas
The City is still waiting on final IDOT permits before beginning work in the following corridors:
- West & East Lincoln Highway
- South & North 4th Street
- Sycamore Road
Work in these areas is anticipated to begin in Spring 2026.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and dedication to making DeKalb a lead-free city. We truly appreciate your help in making this program a success!
