Dubuque’s lead pipe removal program cuts 61 homes from 2025 due to budget overruns, delaying replacements for some.
Dubuque’s lead pipe removal program faces a budget shortfall after a contractor bid came $154,000 over budget and internal plumbing repairs cost $226,000 more than expected, with average home repair costs rising from $500 to $2,500.
Due to the financial strain, the city reduced the 2025 project from 196 to 135 homes.
The 61 homes not served this year will be prioritized next year, but those ranked below may never receive service line replacements.
