President Joe Biden is unveiling a comprehensive plan to replace all lead pipes in the United States over the next 10 years. This initiative comes a decade after the Flint, Michigan water crisis highlighted the dangers of lead in tap water. The Biden administration has pledged an additional $2.6 billion in funds to support this effort. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a rule requiring the removal of most lead-contaminated water pipes within the decade, addressing a significant public health threat.
