Lead pipe replacement law in Minnesota

Minnesota has set a statewide goal of replacing all lead service lines by 2033 — five years ahead of the federal deadline below — backed by a dedicated state funding program (Minn. Stat. §§ 446A.077-.078) that offers municipalities and other public water suppliers zero-interest loans and grants for replacement projects. Unlike California's independent statutory mandate, Minnesota's own program page describes 2033 explicitly as a goal tied to this funding program, not a separate binding replacement deadline in state law.

Separately from any state law, the EPA's federal Lead and Copper Rule Improvements require every water system nationwide to submit a baseline inventory and an approved replacement plan by November 1, 2027, then fully replace all lead and "galvanized requiring replacement" lines under its control on a schedule of 10 years or less from that date, replacing at least 10% of its known lead/GRR lines per year. A narrow exception allows a longer schedule only for the roughly 1% of systems with an unusually dense concentration of lead lines, and partial (non-emergency) replacements are prohibited.
