Summary
Louisiana voters face a pivotal choice this November: approve a constitutional amendment allowing federal funds to replace lead pipes in private homes. With over $150 million already earmarked in New Orleans alone, the push is urgent—lead exposure threatens public health, education, and economic productivity. Though the Attorney General says utilities can act, lawmakers insist a constitutional fix is needed for legal certainty. After voters rejected all amendments last time, organizers are doubling down on education, promising this one’s different—and vital. Meanwhile, the Sewerage & Water Board is preparing to map out lead pipes and soon will invite residents to enroll, while urging everyone to test water and use filters now.
