Over the course of the last few months, the association has been actively monitoring the state of California's efforts to pass "Get the Lead Out 2.0," which would force manufacturers into a second round of endpoint fixture lead reduction — 10 years after current regulations went into effect.
In the final rule, the EPA is implementing regulations associated with the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act (RLDWA) issued in 2011 and fully implemented on Jan. 4, 2014.
The association says the aggressive product development and production schedule will enable plumbing manufacturers to supply the marketplace with sufficient product quantities and choices while assuring consumer safety and satisfaction.
Households impacted by contaminated groundwater that desperately require water treatment devices to supply the home with a potable source may now apply for the Household Wells Systems grant, with or without the installation of a new water well system.
The association states that the proposed rule is "an important step forward," representing the first major overhaul of federal protections for lead in drinking water in two decades.
