The White House has announced plans to speed up the use of infrastructure law funds to replace lead pipes in underserved communities, including some in Pennsylvania. Governor Josh Shapiro said in a statement Friday the accelerator program will invest in clean drinking water to many cities in the state, but especially to communities that he says “have been left behind for too long.” He says the risk is greater for low-income households and in older homes where lead plumbing fixtures, pipes and lead-based paint have not been replaced or improved.
