lead in water

President Biden on Tuesday set a 10-year deadline for cities across the nation to replace their lead pipes, finalizing an approach aimed at ensuring that drinking water is safe for all Americans.

Some 9.2 million lead pipes carry water into homes across the U.S., and Florida has nearly 1.16 million of them. according to a new EPA survey is dictating how billions of dollars to find and replace those pipes are spent.

President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address that federal funds will pay to replace lead pipes in hundreds of thousands of schools and child care centers. In the meantime, schools are dealing with high lead levels now.

Part of President Biden's infrastructure proposal calls for replacing all lead water service lines in the country. The experience of Flint, Michigan, shows both the need for that, and the challenge.
