Washington, D.C. – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to unveil updated regulations regarding lead in drinking water, which have been pending for more than eight years.
The Lead and Copper Rule regulations were put in place in 1991 but haven’t seen a substantial update since then.
Since 2011, the EPA has been attempting to update its lead standards but struggled trying to mandate replacement of lead service lines without placing an unmanageable financial burden on the water utilities that own them.
A major priority of the agency is to ensure that the most corrosive lead pipes are removed first.
