Abstract: Key Takeaways Addressing lead in drinking water is important, but regulations for replacement of galvanized iron pipes may provide no benefit. The 2024 Lead and Copper Rule Improvements presented new challenges for California's East Bay Municipal Utility District, one being the new “galvanized requiring replacement” category. Not all galvanized iron pipes necessarily pose a public health risk; utilities should be allowed the flexibility to classify these pipes according to their unique site conditions.
