Biden announces 10-year deadline to remove all lead pipes nationwide
The EPA estimates that nine million homes in the U.S. have lead pipes.
"We're here today because we're finally addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago in this country — the danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking water," Mr. Biden said.

I'm here today to tell you that I'm finally insisting that it gets prioritized and I'm insisting it get done."

Hell, there's some pipes in Milwaukee that still have wood. They're ancient, but they hold on.
