"Is that what I think it is?" Yuck. That's a #water service line from 1920 made of #lead . Older pipes can deliver poisonous lead into your home. See what @EPA and cities across the nation are doing about it. #Akron #GetTheLeadOut #BIL @AkronOhioMayor

There is no safe level of lead exposure in drinking water. This #ChildrensHealthMonth , EPA issued a final rule requiring drinking water systems across the country to identify and replace lead pipes within 10 years.

If your area is experiencing heavy rain & flooding due to #Milton , do not drive, walk or swim in flood waters — driving in flood waters is dangerous! Monitor local weather alerts, avoid flooded areas, and always remember to turn around, don't drown!

EPA just finalized improvements to the Lead and Copper Rule that will get the lead out of America's drinking water. Milwaukee Water Works is on track to replace all remaining lead pipes within the EPA’s ten-year timeframe thanks to federal funding. #GetTheLeadOut @MKEWaterWorks

Thanks to the Biden-Harris Investing in America agenda, I’m more optimistic than ever about the future of our country and our planet. Yesterday, @EPA invested an additional $2.6B with our state partners to upgrade drinking water systems. In short: this is a big, BIG deal.

Between 30 and 50% of America's water workforce is eligible to retire within the next five to 10 years. EPA's workforce initiatives are encouraging a diverse and strong future water workforce. #WaterWednesday
