President Biden s American Jobs Plan calls for spending $45 billion to replace every lead pipe in the United States. The process can be long and expensive, and it will fall apart without political and public support, says

After Jordan s advocacy group, the Newark Education Workers Caucus, and the Natural Resources Defense Council sued the city, Newark began replacing more than 18,000 lines of lead pipe.
