Dear EPA Chief Michael Regan, Please accept these 33,352 public comments from members and online activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in support of strengthening the Lead and Copper Rule and immediately removing every single lead pipe out of the ground. There is no safe level of lead exposure, so it is alarming that tens of millions of people across the country continue to get their drinking water from lead pipes, causing irreversible harm to human health and development -- especially in children and fetuses. Decades of disinvestment and denial -- particularly in low-income communities and communities of color -- have resulted in this failing water infrastructure plaguing our country. This is a public health crisis that needs to be fixed. The Lead and Copper Rule is meant to keep lead out of drinking water, but it is woefully outdated and inadequate. Your agency has the power to make history and end this water crisis by strengthening the Lead and Copper Rule to set strict science-based standards and to require the removal of every single lead pipe from the ground. The health of millions of people depends on this important action! Please do everything you can to correct this injustice flowing through the taps in millions of homes and provide safe and affordable drinking water to all communities. Thank you.
