LEAD WATER

There is now $100 million in a fund that will help Detroit speed up the replacement of its estimated 80,000 lead service lines in the city.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is looking to tighten rules for allowable levels of lead in drinking water while the Biden Administration is looking to replace the country’s lead lines using new funds.

People living in Hamtramck are rejoicing in the fact that the city is now one step closer to having lead pipes replaced.

As worries about lead in the water spreads across Metro Detroit, the race is on to remove hundreds of miles of dangerous and potentially poisonous pipeline.

Free blood lead testing is being offered to Benton Harbor residents next week.

Detroit is taking a proactive measure as multiple Michigan communities face lead water issues.

Volunteers and other community members gathered at the Brotherhood of All Nations church in Benton Harbor to distribute water bottles.

Removing lead from drinking water pipelines has been a key piece of Democrats sweeping bills, but the clock is ticking to get both the bills passed as Michiganders again have to worry if their water is dangerous.
