Rep. Clyde Introduces Resolution to Block EPA Rule Requiring Lead Pipe Replacements
This bill is currently sitting in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce where it was sent in February 2025. No action has been taken on this proposal since February 2025, which is a period of 16 months. The bill is stalled because the committee must review it before it can move forward.
While this may pass the House, it faces a difficult path in the Senate and would likely be stopped by a veto if the current administration supports the rule.

Renters often have less control over their water infrastructure than homeowners. The EPA rule would have required water systems to proactively replace lead pipes serving rental properties. Without it, renters in older buildings with lead service lines would have fewer protections and less ability to push for replacements on their own.
