Can anyone explain why Republican leaders in Congress are proposing resolution H.J.18 to repeal the Lead Out of Water Rule that would protect communities from toxic lead water pipes? Or why President Trump ordered a stop to federal funding to states for replacement of lead service lines?

I remember our national outrage and concern for the children who faced health issues and decreased learning ability from drinking water contaminated by lead in pipes in Flint, Mich.

Put in your ZIP code in at House.gov to learn who your representative in D.C. is so you can share your concern about this threat to children who live in the many communities that still have aging water lines.
