EPA estimates that approximately 20 percent of human exposure to lead
is attributable to lead in drinking water.
On January 12, 2000, EPA published minor revisions to the Lead and
Copper Rule. These revisions streamline and reduce monitoring and
reporing burden, and address implementation problems and issues arising
from legal challenges.
The minor revisions
to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) address implementation problems
and issues arising from legal challenges to the 1991 rule. They streamline and
reduce monitoring and reporting burden. EPA is making available several
fact sheets
and guides to help states and public water suppliers implement the revisions.
