Today, the Biden-Harris Administration released its final Lead and Copper Rule Improvements to strengthen protections against lead in drinking water, replacing the regulations adopted by the Trump administration. The new rule will require full lead service line replacement in a decade for most communities, lower the action level from 15 ppb to 10 ppb, and protect millions of people from lead exposure from their drinking water.
In response, Mary Grant, Public Water for All Campaign Director at Food & Water Action said:“We applaud the Biden-Harris administration for strengthening the rule to remove lead from our drinking water. These long-awaited improvements will replace the weak regulation adopted by Donald Trump, and in doing so, will protect millions of people from lasting harm from this dangerous neurotoxin. “Today’s action is yet another example of the stark difference between the two Presidential candidates.
