The EPA just announced $26 million in new grants to help states reduce lead in drinking water at schools and child care centers. This brings their total investment to over $200 million. It’ is a big win for kids’ health.

This funding protects children where they learn and play by supports testing, filters, and fixing the problem at the tap.

We’ll keep working to ensure these funds reach the communities most at risk, interim protections stay in place, and long-term solutions move forward.

Every child deserves safe water.
