Some Valley municipalities are in the midst of tackling an effort to replace lead water service lines after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a mandate for the change earlier this week.
On Tuesday, the Biden-Harris Administration “issued a final rule requiring drinking water systems nationwide to identify and replace lead pipes within” 10 years, according to an EPA press release.
The EPA announced Arizona would get about $43.55 million in “newly available drinking water infrastructure funding” through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the press release stated.
