EPA’s LCRI Update
October 8, 2024 – The EPA announced an update on LCRI. The press release goes into some detail about what the Biden administration will be looking to put in place for the next ten years and offer some funding opportunities to help communities provide safe drinking water to all homes and schools.
“The EPA’s new lead rule will begin to reverse the massive public health disaster of lead-contaminated tap water that has affected generations of our children. Every person has a right to safe and affordable drinking water, no matter their race, income, or zip code,” said Manish Bapna, president and CEO of NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). “NRDC has had the privilege of working with residents of Flint, Newark, Chicago and beyond to help secure this meaningful rule and stop the flow of toxic lead from the tap into water glasses in homes across the nation.”
