If you think about the Flint, Michigan water crisis, it’s upsetting and grabs attention. But what doesn’t grab attention, but should, is when the work is being done to prevent poisonous water — to provide clean air and clean water. That work is something President Biden has been doing with what his administration rightfully calls his Infrastructure Decade. This is a “moral responsibility,” they say.

That moral responsibility is why on Thursday they are announcing new action to replace toxic lead pipes around the country and deliver clean drinking water.

According to a White House fact sheet provided to PoliticusUSA: President Biden is traveling today to Wilmington, North Carolina, to announce $3 billion through his Investing in America agenda to replace toxic lead pipes. This investment, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is part of the historic $15 billion in dedicated funding for lead pipe replacement provided by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Today’s announcement delivers funding to every state and U.S. territory to help address lead in drinking water while creating good-paying jobs, many of them union jobs. In addition, this program funding is part of the President’s Justice40 Initiative, which set a goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities, and is helping address the inequities of lead exposure.

Additionally, to further reduce lead exposure, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is announcing today nearly $90 million in available funding to reduce residential health hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint hazards, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, fire safety, and asbestos, advancing the President’s Lead Pipe and Paint Action Plan.
