Rep. Clyde Introduces Resolution to Block EPA Rule Requiring Lead Pipe Replacements
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently introduced and sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
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.
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
