President Joe Biden appeared in Wilmington, North Carolina, on May 2 to announce an additional $3 billion for his administration’s ambitious plan to replace all of the nation’s lead pipes in the name of providing clean drinking water to everybody in the state and beyond.
“There’s no–no—safe level of lead exposure. None,” he said. “The only way forward is to replace every lead service line that connects every American to clean water. That’s why Kamala and I are making sure the administration is the first ever to set out to do it, and we’re going to get it done.”
