"EPA Seeks Input To Rework Rule On Lead In Drinking Water"

"WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Thursday it will seek input from state and local officials as it considers how to rework a 1991 rule meant to protect people from lead and copper contamination in drinking water.

The agency invited state officials to give input on revising the Lead and Copper rule at a two-hour meeting on Jan. 8 at the EPA’s headquarters in Washington.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said the agency is seeking the input to 'properly address lead and ensure communities have access to safe drinking water.'"
