AWWA is committed to the complete replacement of lead service lines nationwide – in their entirety – as quickly as feasible.

Since President Biden took office, over 367,000 lead pipes have been replaced nationwide, benefitting 918,000 people.

The event arrives as the water sector prepares for the implementation of the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions regulation, offering a timely forum for infrastructure professionals to address this critical challenge and explore comprehensive strategies for ensuring resilient and reliable drinking water systems.

This partnership comes in response to the revised Lead and Copper Rule (LCRR), which mandates that all water utilities must provide an initial inventory of their LSLs as a step to help eliminate the estimated 9.2 million LSLs in the next decade.

“Water quality has grown 300% across the U.S. since the pandemic began,” says Glen Blavet, founder and CEO of HALO Water Systems. “People are at home, and they’re looking to improve their quality of life and their health, so they’re looking at the water they’re drinking out of the tap.”
