Lead contamination of drinking water is a major topic of concern across the country, particularly in areas with aging lead pipes. Lead contamination in Flint, Michigan; Washington, DC; and Newark, New Jersey, has focused attention on America's decaying pipes. At least $384 billion of improvements are needed to maintain and replace essential parts of the country's water infrastructure to through 2030, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
