The city of Newark and its engineering partner CDM Smith won the Water Data Prize for its Lead Line Replacement Program.
The Environmental Policy Innovation Center awarded the prize based on Newark’s performance in “demonstrating how lead pipes across America can be replaced quickly and equitably to ensure access to safe, clean drinking water.”
The award is given by EPIC, a non-profit aimed at helping build policies that deliver “spectacular improvements in the speed and scale of conservation and environmental progress.” “Any awards or recognition we get for our lead line replacement must be shared with our residents,” said Water and Sewer Utilities Director Kareem Adeem.
On Tuesday, Baraka testified in Washington, D.C. to the senate subcommittee on Fisheries, Water, and Wildlife during the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act: Stakeholders’ needs and experiences hearing, where he shared how the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act would help disadvantaged and environmental justice challenged communities.
