Marking the 10th anniversary of the water crisis in Flint, Mich., President Biden on Tuesday gave water utilities 10 more years to replace virtually every lead pipe in the country, imposing the strictest limits to date on a neurotoxin that is particularly dangerous to infants and children.

President Joe Biden took a major step toward eliminating the national scourge of lead pipes, unveiling a new rule mandating the removal of all lead pipes within the next decade, in addition to $2.6 billion in new funding toward the environmental and public health goal.
