Senate & House Lead Safety Leaders Applaud Finalization of New Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, Announcement of $2.6 Billion in New Funding to Help Remove Lead Pipes Across America
Press Release
Issues: Infrastructure Environment
“The EPA’s bold leadership in finalizing this critical rule will help us eliminate lead pipes within a decade and put a stop to lead exposure that continues to threaten the health of far too many families and children in our nation today. Every American deserves access to clean and safe drinking water, and by modernizing our aging water infrastructure we are investing in a future where every family can turn on the tap and know their water is clean. I am proud to have helped lead the call in Congress for a strong final rule, and I thank the Biden-Harris administration for their commitment to environmental justice and public health.”
