Summary
Connecticut’s getting $27 million to replace dangerous lead pipes in homes built before 1986—hidden threats that silently poison water, especially harming kids. With up to 8,000 suspected lines mostly in low-income and communities of color, this funding from the EPA will upgrade aging infrastructure across New England’s oldest water systems. You can check if your home has lead pipes by scratching the pipe for gray residue or testing magnet attraction—no magnet sticks to lead. This is about trust, safety, and ensuring every family can drink without fear, no matter their zip code. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
