Michigan Governor to Unveil New Lead-Testing Rules

Description

In the wake of Flint's water crisis, Republican Governor Rick Snyder and a team of water experts will unveil on Friday a plan that would give Michigan the toughest lead-testing rules in the nation and require the replacement of all underground lead service pipes in the state. Synder said in a statement, "The federal Lead and Copper Rule needs to be improved immediately. It's dumb and dangerous and in Michigan we aren't going to wait for the federal government to fix it anymore." Other proposals include requiring utilities to test all schools, day care centers, nursing homes and similar facilities. The proposal would also require each system to fully replace old pipes within 10 years unless the state authorizes more time.
