Lead and Copper Rule

EPA’s new Lead and Copper Rule better protects children and communities from the risks of lead exposure by better protecting children at schools and child care facilities, getting the lead out of our nation’s drinking water, and empowering communities through information. Improvements under the new rule include:

  • Requiring water systems to identify and make public the locations of lead service lines
  • Using science-based testing protocols to find more sources of lead in drinking water
  • Establishing a trigger level to jumpstart mitigation earlier and in more communities
  • Driving more and complete lead service line replacements
  • For the first time, requiring testing in schools and child care facilities
