Let's get the lead out of Ohio's drinking water! Today, we joined clean water advocates speaking out in support of Ohio’s Lead Line Replacement Act (HB 534), a bill designed to eliminate Ohio's lead water service lines within 15 years. The bill, introduced by Rep. Dontavius L. Jarrells includes key provisions that support workforce development and ensure low- and moderate-income customers will not be burdened by the cost of replacement. "The time to get the lead out is long past," shared Meleah Geertsma, our Director of Clean Water & Equity, along with representatives from Ohio Environmental Council and The Junction Coalition. https://lnkd.in/gbF_kTyb
