From Friday…
The only way forward is to replace every lead pipeline in our country and connect the American people to clean water once and for all.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 11, 2024

Remarks by President Biden on the Biden-Harris Administration’s Progress in Replacing Lead Pipes and Creating Good-Paying Jobs | Milwaukee, WI; the YouTube is 24 minutes and 13 seconds.
We’re here today because we’re finally addressing an issue that should’ve been addressed a long time ago in this country: the danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking water.
For too long, local communities have known how important it was to deal with this problem. It hadn’t been given the national priority it demanded though.
I’m here today to tell you that I’m finally insisting that it gets prioritized, and I’m insisting it get done. (Applause.)
[snip]
Folks, as Kamala would say, “This is the United States of America, for God’s sake.” There’s no safe — no safe level of lead exposure, period. None.
And the only way forward is to replace every lead pipeline and connect the American people to clean water. No alternative. And that’s why — (applause) — that’s why Kamala and I are the first administration to take on the challenge once and for all. And we’re delivering.
We know safe, clean drinking water is fundamental to the health of our communities, to enhance our economic growth, to basic human dignity.
That’s why we’ve already replaced 367,000 lead pipe
