Replace Lead Drinking-Water Pipes Faster

This proposal seeks faster, accountable implementation of lead service-line replacement through funding, public milestones, and practical support for affected households. It builds on existing EPA requirements rather than presenting replacement as a new legal obligation.

• A public replacement schedule that distinguishes confirmed lead lines from lines still awaiting identification.
• Priority support for high-risk locations and households that cannot afford required work.
• Clear resident notices and protections during replacement, with completed work recorded publicly.

1. Have water systems publish inventories, funding needs, and accountable project milestones.
2. Ask Congress to address funding gaps and EPA to coordinate technical assistance within its authority.
3. Report progress, delays, and resident-support measures while protecting household information.

United States Congress and Environmental Protection Agency

National request to Congress and EPA, with state regulators and local water systems responsible for much of the implementation.

The EPA already has lead-pipe identification and replacement requirements. This petition asks for implementation and funding improvements; it does not change the rule or guarantee a replacement date. Responsibility, access permissions, and local conditions vary. Public-water-system rules do not automatically cover private wells.

These are informal advocacy petitions, not government filings. No delivery to a public authority has been made through this website. No official response or policy change is guaranteed.

Official background on lead-pipe identification, replacement, testing, and community communication. Reviewed September 5, 2026; this campaign is independent of EPA.
