Water Services – The City continues to update our water service material inventory and identify candidates for future lead water service replacement projects. If you are uncertain of your water service material, please complete the online survey at cityofsycamore.com/waterservices.
After it is submitted, the City of Sycamore may need to complete an onsite inspection. Provided it is eligible, the City will help add you to a list for future lead service replacement project(s). This work will be completed as funding becomes available, but done at no cost to the homeowner.
