The revision itself will be completed within the year, giving the nation three years to prepare. The Lead and Copper Rule has not been updated in decades, and the current state of water quality in the U.S necessitates a change. The requirements will be known on December 16th, 2021. This allows the EPA to have time to effectively conduct consultations. This investigation included conversations with representatives from Flint Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>The delay also ensures that public water systems will be ready to comply with all of the requirements. The grace period is essential for the systems to make infrastructure changes, as they are so-time consuming and expensive. It also guarantees that these water systems will all be actively improving their water quality over the three years. Hopefully as the compliance date approaches, lead pipes will be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;CTA &#8211; PIONEER&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#d2e2f4&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|12px|12px|12px|12px&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3747&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HDR&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Open Sans|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>NOW REMOVES ARSENIC!<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb admin_label=&#8221;CALL-TO-ACTION&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>PIONEER<\/strong> is the First of its Kind Whole-House Lead, Cyst &amp; PFOA\/PFOS Removal System and now PIONEER Removes Arsenic! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enpress.com\/site\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about this revolutionary system.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to allow the nation to update their water systems, the EPA delays the Lead and Copper Rule Revision compliance date until October 16th, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3891,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Geological survey conducted research regarding different effects of droughts. In their recent study, they found that many prolonged droughts can cause a higher risk of exposure to arsenic in well water. Maine, New England, the Midwest, and the Southwest are all areas whose arsenic levels are regularly higher than the federal level allows. Although municipal water supplies are carefully monitored, private well water is not. This can be a danger to Americans because over 43 million people rely on private well water. A previous study revealed that somewhere between 1.5 and 2.9 million people are drinking water with unsafe levels of arsenic, and this number may increase to over 4 million in case of a drought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased levels of arsenic may be caused by a decrease in groundwater levels, which causes changes in water chemistry. There are also some human responses to droughts, such as using ground water rather than surface water, which may also affect exposure. The number of droughts is expected to increase as a result of climate change, exposing even more Americans to unsafe drinking water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arsenic is highly dangerous because it causes a wide variety of health issues, and is odorless, colorless and tasteless - making it undetectable without a test. To help combat this issue, many states which are at high risk for droughts have programs to provide private well owners with arsenic tests. Although not all testing is free, these programs help make it affordable since it is recommended to test water every 3-5 years. By increasing awareness, doing additional research, and regularly testing water we can fight this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[64,152,114,145,150,151,104,149,103,147,49,97],"class_list":["post-3885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news","tag-contamination","tag-delay","tag-epa","tag-health-impacts","tag-lcr","tag-lcrr","tag-lead","tag-lead-and-copper-rule","tag-lead-contamination","tag-michigan","tag-water-quality","tag-water-treatment"],"yoast_head":"<!--
