Bill overview
This bill, the National Opportunity for Lead Exposure Accountability and Deterrence Act of 2019, aims to improve transparency and accountability regarding lead in drinking water. It requires public water systems to conduct more frequent and comprehensive testing, investigate the sources of lead contamination, notify affected residents, and maintain detailed records of service lines. The bill also mandates that lead service lines be entirely replaced, rather than partially, and lowers the federal action level for lead in drinking water over time.
