The Biden-Harris administration announced a $3 billion initiative to replace toxic lead pipes and ensure clean drinking water across the U.S. This funding, part of a broader effort to overhaul the nation's drinking water systems, aims to replace all lead service lines, addressing the over 9 million such lines currently existing nationwide. The initiative is supported by the landmark Infrastructure Law, which has allocated significant funds, including $28.6 million to Maine, to eradicate this public health threat.
