Understanding the New Lead Pipe Regulations: What Homeowners Need to Know
As of October 2024, new U.S. regulations mandate the replacement of all lead pipes within the next decade. For the estimated 9 million homes that still have lead pipes, understanding what this means for your home’s safety is more important than ever.
What Are the Health Risks?
Lead exposure, particularly from drinking water, can cause severe health issues, especially for young children and pregnant women. The CDC has long warned of the dangers, but now the new federal guidelines require utilities to take action to replace lead pipes in homes and public buildings, with a strong focus on schools.
