ASA members play vital role in death of controversial California AB 2060 lead reduction bill
Over the course of the last few months, the American Supply Association has been actively monitoring the state of California’s efforts to pass “Get the Lead Out 2.0,” which would force manufacturers into a second round of endpoint fixture lead reduction, 10 years after current regulations went into effect.
Since the original reduction initiatives a decade ago, water agencies in California have had 10 years to compile a list of pipes containing lead in California communities and another 10 years to replace these pipes. The new regulations have been primarily driven by legislation requiring schools and daycare facilities to replace internal pipes to remove lead.
