NO lead is safe in drinking water. Yet every year communities around the Great Lakes find high lead levels in drinking water, harming public health.
This fall, the U.S. EPA will announce a new Lead and Copper Rule that will impact the safety of drinking water in homes.
Before the new proposed rules are released, the U.S. EPA must strengthen drinking water protections and ensure that the new rule:
- Creates health-based standards for regulating lead in drinking water
- Bans partial lead service line replacements
- Creates an emergency funding source to aid environmental justice communities in crisis
- Recommends water filters for all residents when a high lead level is discovered and provides them to households in need, including those with low-incomes, expectant mothers, and children.
With your help, we can make strides to ensure water is safe for all. The public deserves to trust its drinking water. Sign now to demand the U.S. EPA adopt stronger protections in the upcoming update to the Lead and Copper Rule!
