President Joe Biden has unveiled a new EPA rule mandating the replacement of all lead pipes in the United States within the next decade, following the Flint, Michigan water crisis. The initiative, part of a broader effort by Biden's administration, includes $15 billion allocated through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and an additional $2.6 billion to support the transition. The rule aims to protect public health by preventing issues such as low birth weight and IQ loss in children, with expected benefits of preventing 900,000 low birth weights and reducing ADHD cases. Announced during Biden's visit to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the initiative emphasizes the economic benefits of creating union jobs through this infrastructure project. Concerns remain about the financial feasibility for cities like Chicago, which face significant funding gaps. The rule is expected to affect approximately 9.2 million lead service lines nationwide, with compliance required by 2037.
