Daily News | Biden unveiled $500 million for Philly lead pipe replacement as he aims to show how his infrastructure bill has worked
and other benefits they say will flow from the bills they passed in the first two years of Biden’s tenure.
“Children and families in Philadelphia get their drinking water through lead pipes — not because they choose to, but because the City of Philadelphia has not been able to replace these outdated and dangerous pipes,” Casey said in a statement. “Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, that will no longer be the case.”
While lead poisoning has declined in Philadelphia, about 11% of the city’s 3-year-olds, roughly 2,200 children,by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2021. Children in a cluster of the poorest, majority-Black areas of the city were most at risk. Along with Shapiro, Casey and Fetterman, U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans, of Philadelphia, also joined the event.
