How to Apply for the PLWSRP

To be considered in the PLWSRP, submitting evidence of a lead service or of a galvanized iron service is required. Use the recommended identification approaches in the “How Do I Know If I Have Lead or Galvanized Iron Pipes?” section of this webpage to help you identify the material of your service line.

Once the lead service has been identified, you can apply to the program by using the City’s Customer Service Portal to create an account and submit an online service request. You can also apply by calling 3-1-1 to submit a claim and set up a service cloud case.

Once your account has been set up, you will be assigned a case number which will grant you access to all the necessary program documents. You will need to fill in and provide the following:
