Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Life & Work

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.
