Lead Pipe Replacement Grants and Funding in Wyoming

Overview

Wyoming serves over 628,000 people through 726 water systems. If you own a home with a lead service line, you may be eligible for grants or low-interest loans to help pay for replacement. Funding comes from federal and state programs designed to reduce lead exposure in drinking water.

Federal funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

The federal government allocated funding to states for water infrastructure improvements, including lead service line replacement. Wyoming received a share of this investment through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). Check with your local water utility to learn whether your system is using this money for lead replacement projects and whether homeowners can apply.

Wyoming's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund

Wyoming administers the DWSRF, which provides low-interest loans to water systems for infrastructure upgrades. A portion of these funds—set aside specifically for disadvantaged communities—may offer forgiveness (grants) rather than loans for eligible households.

To find out if your community qualifies and what your water system is planning, contact your water utility directly. They can tell you:

  • Whether lead replacement is funded in your area
  • Timeline for work
  • Whether homeowner cost-sharing is required
  • How to apply if you own a private service line

Private service lines

If you own the portion of the pipe connecting your home to the public water main (called a private service line), you may be responsible for replacement costs. However, some water systems cover part or all of the cost through grant programs. Your utility should provide this information.

Next steps for residents

  • Contact your water utility and ask about lead service line replacement programs and any available grants or loans
  • Request their lead service line inventory to find out if your home may be affected
  • Ask specifically about the DWSRF and whether your system is using it for lead replacement
  • Check eligibility — some programs prioritize low-income households or disadvantaged areas

Common questions

Does Wyoming have money to replace my lead pipes?

Wyoming received federal funding through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) for water infrastructure, including lead replacement. Contact your water utility to ask if your system is using these funds and whether you're eligible for assistance.

Do I have to pay to replace my lead service line in Wyoming?

It depends on your water system and whether you own the service line. Some systems offer full or partial grants, especially for low-income households. Your utility is the best source for cost-sharing details.

How do I know if my house has a lead pipe?

Ask your water utility for their lead service line inventory or contact them directly. They may also do a free inspection. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, but it's not guaranteed.

What should I do if I'm worried about lead in my water?

Contact your water utility to request a free water test and ask about the lead service line in your home. For health concerns, speak with your pediatrician or contact the CDC for guidance on reducing exposure.
