Get the Lead Out
August 08, 2024
What is the GLO Initiative?
As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government effort to tackle lead exposure, EPA aims to help states and communities get access to water infrastructure funding and eliminate potential barriers to lead pipe removal. The Get the Lead Out (GLO) Initiative takes lessons learned and best practices from the Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Accelerators pilot program and will work to expand LSLR WaterTA to approximately 200 additional underserved and disadvantaged communities. The objective of the GLO Initiative is to accelerate the removal of lead pipes where it’s needed most, help connect more communities to historic federal funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and move our country closer to President Biden’s goal of getting 100% of lead pipes out of water systems once and for all. The GLO initiative is funded entirely by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
