Dear NRDC Action Fund
Supporter,

Incredible news: The Biden-Harris
administration released new standards to get dangerous lead out
of our drinking water, requiring virtually all lead water pipes
across the nation to be removed within 10 years.

This is a huge win for public health and our children that is
decades in the making. It’s the result of the tireless work of
community leaders in cities like Flint and Newark – and also NRDC
and NRDC Action Fund supporters like you, who sent nearly 60,000
public comments to the Environmental Protection Agency in support
of strong lead in drinking water standards.

Make no mistake: These lifesaving
standards are also in large part thanks to President Biden and
Vice President Harris — political leaders who have listened and
acted when so many others would not. This victory is more proof
that elections matter — and it’s more critical than ever that we
elect officials this November who will follow through on the
promise of these standards.

Learn more about this monumental victory
to protect communities across the country from the dangers of
lead-contaminated drinking water. ( [link removed] )

There is no safe level of lead. But
currently over nine million homes in the U.S., disproportionately
in low-income communities and communities of color, receive
drinking water through a lead pipe.

Lead harms the developing brain, severely
impairing mental and physical development, and is especially
dangerous for children and pregnant people. In adults, it can
also cause increased blood pressure, fatal heart disease, kidney
impairment, and cancer.

While the final standards are a significant improvement, some
gaps remain — most notably, water utilities are not required to
shoulder the costs for full lead pipe replacement. That’s
particularly disappointing given that the households
disproportionately impacted by lead pipes are the ones that can
least afford to pay for their removal. So, there’s more work to
be done.

One of the best ways to ensure every lead pipe is replaced, no
matter what a household can afford to pay, is simple: we need as
many people as possible to vote for pro-environment leaders this
Election Day.

Every vote counts — make sure you’re
prepared to vote. ( [link removed] )

Thank you for fighting alongside us to ensure safe drinking water
for all.

Sincerely,

Erik D. Olson
