The Biden administration has unveiled a landmark rule requiring the removal of all lead pipes in the United States within the next decade, aimed at ensuring safer drinking water for communities nationwide. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a ten-year deadline for U.S. cities to replace lead-contaminated water pipes and has announced $2.6 billion in funding to support this initiative. The rule emphasizes the urgency of addressing toxic lead in drinking water, especially in places like Chicago and Rapid City, where lead pipes are prevalent. The White House's commitment to replace these hazardous pipes marks a significant step towards public health and environmental safety.
