Lead Service Line Replacement Programs Taking Applications

March 18, 2021

Last fall the City has announced two new lead service line replacement programs for homeowners who would like to replace their lead service lines. If you live in a single-family or two-flat home built before 1986, it is likely that you have a lead service line. Chicago’s drinking water is in compliance with all industry, state and federal standards so replacement is completely voluntary.

  • Homeowner-Initiated Program. If a homeowner wants to hire a contractor and remove the existing lead service line, this program will waive the permit fees for the project. This could amount to a savings of up to $3,100. Additionally, the City will attach the new service line to the water main and provide a free water meter for the contractor to install, if there isn’t one already in place. To qualify, the request for the fee waiver must be a standalone and not made in conjunction with a home renovation or expansion.
  • Equity Lead Service Line Replacement Program. Under this program, you may be eligible for a free lead service line replacement all the way from the water main into your home plus installation of a free water meter to save money on your water bills if:
    • Live in a single-family or two-flat you own.
    • Have a household income below 80% of the area median income ($72,800 for a family of 4).
    • Have consistent results of at least 15 parts per billion of lead in your water in free testing by done by the Department of Water Management.

Residents interested in the Equity Program are encouraged to call 311 and ask for a water test kit to get started. More information on both these programs and links to apply can be found at: https://www.leadsafechicago.org/lead-service-line-replacement

2020 Scooter Pilot Feedback Survey

December 17, 2020

The 2020 four-month shared e-scooter pilot program concludes on December 12, 2020. The City of Chicago would appreciate your help to evaluate the program by taking this survey to help determine what role shared e-scooters should play in the City’s transportation landscape. As the pilot ends, City staff will evaluate the impact and success of the pilot and take into account these survey results, an analysis of trip data and stakeholder feedback. After completing the program evaluation, the City will work with residents and City Council to determine a long-term approach to innovative, shared micromobility.

The City will be conducting a thorough evaluation of the pilot with a report to be published in early 2021. Your response to this survey is much appreciated and will help shape the pilot evaluation and help inform future decisions on shared e-scooters in Chicago. Thank you!

Dine Out West Lakeview

July 8, 2020

  • Launching July 10!

    Developed in response to COVID-19, Dine Out West Lakeview reclaims side streets along the Southport Corridor and Lincoln Avenue to create an outdoor dining experience, similar to a food hall. The program will allow diners to enjoy food and alcoholic beverages from local restaurants in open air settings, while providing restaurants with much-needed space to expand their outdoor capacity. The seating areas will accommodate approximately 30 tables per location. Diners will be able to purchase meals for carryout from individual restaurants and take them to a nearby Dine Out location, where they can enjoy al fresco dining and drink service.

    Concept designed by the amazing team at PORT Urbanism.

    Open Locations

    The below Dine Out locations are now open to the public. More Dine Out locations may be announced in the coming weeks.

    • Cornelia & Southport (W. Cornelia Ave., East of Southport Ave. to the nearest alley)
      • Fridays: 5pm – 10pm
      • Saturdays: 9:30am – 10pm
      • Sundays: 9:30am – 10pm
    • Wellington & Lincoln (W. Wellington Ave., West of Lincoln Ave. to the nearest alley)
      • Saturdays: 9am – 8pm
      • Sundays: 9am – 8pm

  • How It Works

    1. Order Takeout

    Click here to view a list of local restaurant partners.

    2. Grab a Seat

    Bring your food to one of our Dine Out seating areas. We’ll have host staff on hand to assign you to a table. Note: If there’s a wait, you may wish to add your name to the wait list prior to ordering food by checking in with host staff first. Track your progress online so you know when to place your takeout order, and receive a text message once your table is ready. You can view estimated wait times here.

    3. Eat, Drink and Enjoy

    Enjoy a meal while connecting with neighbors and friends at this unique outdoor dining experience. Servers from local restaurants will come to your table to take your drink order if you would like alcoholic beverages. BYOB is not allowed.
