Bill overview
This bill, the National Opportunity for Lead Exposure Accountability and Deterrence Act of 2017, aims to improve the safety of drinking water by increasing transparency and accountability regarding lead contamination. It requires public water systems to conduct more frequent testing, investigate the sources of lead contamination, and provide detailed information to the public about their water quality and service lines. The bill also mandates that water systems replace lead service lines entirely rather than partially and lowers the allowable lead level in drinking water.
