New Jersey will replace all its lead water pipes within the next decade in a new plan to comprehensively address the longstanding health hazard lurking in homes and schools throughout the state.
As part of a three-bill package signed Thursday by Gov. Phil Murphy, water companies will be allowed to raise rates on property owners to pay for the pipe replacements, though it s possible federal funds could help cover the estimated $2.65 billion undertaking.
Murphy s signature comes nearly two years after he pledged a truly comprehensive and whole-of-government approach to removing the danger of lead because it was simply unconscionable for children to be exposed to the toxic metal.
