Lead in Drinking Water: A Permanent Solution for New Jersey

This report from the Jersey Water Works Lead in Drinking Water Task Force lays out 19 interdependent actions which, as a package, the Task Force expects can virtually eliminate lead in water within 10 years. One key recommended action is the replacement of lead service lines under privately owned property, a localized infrastructure issue. The report recognizes that drinking water utilities are on the front lines and need funding solutions and other tools from state government; many of the recommended actions address this reality.
