An ambitious program to replace thousands of residential lead water lines in New Jersey's largest city is about to be completed years ahead of schedule. Newark was sued over the issue in 2018. Lead can be harmful to human health even at minute levels.
The NRDC estimated recently that there are as many as 12 million lead service lines in the U.S. Nearly half of all states don’t even track the number of lead lines within their borders, they found.
Several hundred lead lines remain to be replaced in Newark, many connected to buildings that were not accessible earlier in the project. “It’s hard to chase an LLC down to Texas or Missouri or Louisiana or California,” Adeem said. “The renters always want the line to be replaced, but they don’t own the property.”
Looking back, Baraka described the confrontation with the National Resources Defense Council as “tough, tense, with no love lost,” but he admitted learning some lessons.
