Protect Kids From Lead applauds EPA for the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), announced today.

The LCRI lowers the lead action level, improves tap sampling, and ensures residents have better access to immediate filtration solutions as lead pipe identification and removal activities proceed. The rule would require all lead pipes to be replaced within a decade after the compliance date, the first-ever federal regulation to do so.

Protect Kids from Lead is thrilled to see the implementation of LCRI alongside increased funding for lead protection initiatives. Our kids deserve to have a safe and lead-free future.
