Five municipalities were selected by the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC) to participate in a Lead-Free Water Challenge with the goal of helping them replace all of their lead pipes. The municipalities will receive technical assistance, connections to resources and funders, policy guidance and information sharing.

EPIC has teamed up with Blue Conduit, WaterPIO, Center for Geospatial Solutions and other partners to deliver technical assistance to these five municipalities. The Lead-Free Water Challenge is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Spring Point Partners. The chosen municipalities will receive technical assistance, connections to resources and funders, policy guidance, and information-sharing through peer networks.
