Congress: Keep Lead Out of Our Water!

Millions of families across the country are exposed to lead in their drinking water every single day, yet Republican leaders in Congress want to repeal the critical Lead Out of Water Rule (called the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements) that will protect communities from toxic lead water pipes.

Send a message to demand that your members of Congress protect families from lead exposure by rejecting H.J. Res 18 and any similar measure!

I urge you to reject H.J. Res 18 and any similar resolution to revoke the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements adopted in October 2024.

The historic Lead and Copper Rule Improvements strengthen protections against lead in drinking water by requiring full lead service line replacement in a decade for most communities. This rule also lowers the action level from 15 ppb to 10 ppb, protecting millions of people from lead exposure from their drinking water.

Lead service lines are the main source of lead in drinking water, and the EPA estimates that 9 million homes are still served through these lead lines.

There is no safe level of lead in drinking water, and it is especially dangerous for children. It can lead to developmental disorders, damage to the nervous system and blood cells, and more.

In 2021, out of one million children in the U.S. tested, half showed detectable levels of lead in their blood. Lead exposure is much more likely for poorer children and children of color, reinforcing historical inequities.

Instead of tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations, Congress must prioritize safe water for all. We need to eliminate all lead service lines and require replacements with copper pipes — not toxic plastic PVC and CPVC — and Congress should provide funding for full lead service line removal.

Please protect families from lead exposure in their drinking water and reject H.J. Res 18 and any similar Congressional Review Act resolution to repeal the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements.
