Ten million United States households are at risk of lead-tainted water, increasing the demand for lead pipe replacement throughout the country this year. Lead seeping into drinking water from lead service lines brings lifelong harm to families throughout the country with the first exposure being through baby formula that has been made with water containing lead.

Data shows that lead pipes are present, leading to poor-quality water and making remediation complex. Removing underground plumbing to test for and replace lead pipes is an expensive exercise and cities are looking for cost-effective ways to identify and replace these lead pipes.

In August 2021, federal funding was introduced, providing $15 billion for lead pipe replacement, jump-starting an investment to ensure clean drinking water for all. Public health concerns continue to rise in public areas with lead pipes that have not yet been replaced. The demand for lead pipe replacement continues to grow countrywide this year as people focus on replacing their dangerous lead pipes with safer options, reducing the harmful effects on their families.

Lead makes its way into drinking water when the pipes are broken, cracked or have root invasion. Partial pipe replacement has been common for some time now, limiting the removal of pipes under sidewalks and streets. Property owners are responsible for the pipes under and around their private homes, many are unwilling to pay for this work. With Nu Flow, homeowners can easily afford lead pipe replacement without damaging their homes or foundations.
