New York State is pouring over $130 million into a bold new initiative to replace dangerous lead pipes across the state, using LIFT grants to help towns cover the cost without burdening residents. Tied to the federal infrastructure plan, the funding covers loans after projects are complete, ensuring safe drinking water without financial ruin — especially critical for homes built before 1986. Governor Hochul emphasized that no community should pay the price for clean water. In the Capital Region, cities like Albany, Glens Falls, Troy, and Watervliet are getting major shares — with Troy leading the charge, receiving over $11 million to replace all lead pipes by 2027, following elevated lead findings in March 2025 that prompted urgent testing in older homes.
